        Proverbs 19
      
    </p>

<p>

      
         1.  Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his 
        lips, and is a fool.
      
    <br/>

      
         
      
      
        <b>2.  Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with 
        his feet sinneth.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
         3.  The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the Lord.
      
    <br/>

      
         4.  Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour.
      
    <br/>

      
         
      
      
        <b>5.  A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
        <b> </b>
      
      
        6.  Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that 
        giveth gifts.
      
    <br/>

      
         7.  All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from 
        him? he pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him.
      
    <br/>

      
         8.  He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find 
        good.
      
    <br/>

      
         9.  A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.
      
    <br/>

      
         10.  Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
      
    <br/>

      
         11.  The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a 
        transgression.
      
    <br/>

      
         12.  The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the 
        grass.
      
    <br/>

      
         
      
      
        <b>13.  A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a 
        continual dropping.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
         14.  House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the Lord.
      
    <br/>

      
         
      
      
        <b>15.  Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
        <b> </b>
      
      
        16.  He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways 
        shall die.
      
    <br/>

      
         17.  He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord; and that which he hath given 
        will he pay him again.
      
    <br/>

      
         
      
      
        <b>18.  Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
         
      
      
        <b>19.  A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver him, yet thou 
        must do it again.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
         
      
      
        <b>20.  Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
        <b> 21.  There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, 
        that shall stand.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
         22.  The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.
      
    <br/>

      
         23.  The fear of the Lord tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he 
        shall not be visited with evil.
      
    <br/>

      
         24.  A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his 
        mouth again.
      
    <br/>

      
         25.  Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath 
        understanding, and he will understand knowledge.
      
    <br/>

      
         26.  He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth 
        shame, and bringeth reproach.
      
    <br/>

      
         27.  Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of 
        knowledge.
      
    <br/>

      
         28.  An ungodly witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity.
      
    <br/>

      
         
      
      
        <b>29.  Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.</b>
