Proverbs 19

1 From this chapter to the five and twentieth are sundry observations of moral virtues, and their contrary vices.

 19:1 ¶ Better 2896 [is] the poor 7326 z8802 that walketh 1980 z8802 in his integrity, 8537 than [he that is] perverse 6141 x4480 in his lips, 8193 and is a fool. 3684

 19:2 Also, x1571 [that] the soul 5315 [be] without x3808 knowledge, 1847 [it is] not x3808 good; 2896 and he that hasteth 213 z8801 with [his] feet 7272 sinneth. 2398 z8802

 19:3 The foolishness 200 of man 120 perverteth 5557 z8762 his way: 1870 and his heart 3820 fretteth 2196 z8799 against x5921 the LORD. 3068

 19:4 Wealth 1952 maketh 3254 z8686 many 7227 friends; 7453 but the poor 1800 is separated 6504 z8735 from his neighbour. 7453 x4480

 19:5 A false 8267 witness 5707 shall not x3808 be unpunished, 5352 z8735 and [he that] speaketh 6315 z8686 lies 3577 shall not x3808 escape. 4422 z8735

 19:6 Many 7227 will intreat 2470 z8762 the favour 6440 of the prince: 5081 and every man x3605 [is] a friend 7453 to him y376 that giveth gifts. 4976 x376

 19:7 All x3605 the brethren 251 of the poor 7326 z8802 do hate 8130 z8804 him: how much more x637 x3588 do his friends 4828 go far 7368 z8804 from x4480 him? he pursueth 7291 z8764 [them with] words, 561 [yet] they x1992 [are] wanting x3808 [to him].

 19:8 He that getteth 7069 z8802 wisdom 3820 loveth 157 z8802 his own soul: 5315 he that keepeth 8104 z8802 understanding 8394 shall find 4672 z8800 good. 2896

 19:9 A false 8267 witness 5707 shall not x3808 be unpunished, 5352 z8735 and [he that] speaketh 6315 z8686 lies 3577 shall perish. 6 z8799

 19:10 Delight 8588 is not x3808 seemly 5000 for a fool; 3684 much less x637 for x3588 a servant 5650 to have rule 4910 z8800 over princes. 8269

 19:11 The discretion 7922 of a man 120 deferreth 748 z8689 his anger; 639 and [it is] his glory 8597 to pass x5674 over y5674 z8800 x5921 a transgression. 6588

 19:12 The king's 4428 wrath 2197 [is] as the roaring 5099 of a lion; 3715 but his favour 7522 [is] as dew 2919 upon x5921 the grass. 6212

 19:13 A foolish 3684 son 1121 [is] the calamity 1942 of his father: 1 and the contentions 4079 of a wife 802 [are] a continual 2956 z8802 dropping. 1812

 19:14 House 1004 and riches 1952 [are] the inheritance 5159 of fathers: 1 and a prudent 7919 z8688 wife 802 [is] from the LORD. 3068 x4480

 19:15 Slothfulness 6103 casteth 5307 z8686 into a deep sleep; 8639 and an idle 7423 soul 5315 shall suffer hunger. 7456 z8799

 19:16 He that keepeth 8104 z8802 the commandment 4687 keepeth 8104 z8802 his own soul; 5315 [but] he that despiseth 959 z8802 his ways 1870 shall die. 4191 z8799

 19:17 He that hath pity 2603 z8802 upon the poor 1800 lendeth 3867 z8688 unto the LORD; 3068 and that which he hath given 1576 will he pay him again. 7999 z8762

 19:18 Chasten 3256 z8761 thy son 1121 while x3588 there is 3426 hope, 8615 and let not x408 thy soul 5315 spare 5375 z8799 for x413 his crying. 4191 z8687

 19:19 A man y1419 of great y1632 x1419 wrath 2534 shall suffer 5375 z8802 punishment: 6066 for x3588 if x518 thou deliver 5337 z8686 [him], yet x5750 thou must do it again. 3254 z8686

 19:20 Hear 8085 z8798 counsel, 6098 and receive 6901 z8761 instruction, 4148 that x4616 thou mayest be wise 2449 z8799 in thy latter x319 end. y319

 19:21 [There are] many 7227 devices 4284 in a man's 376 heart; 3820 nevertheless the counsel 6098 of the LORD, 3068 that x1931 shall stand. 6965 z8799

 19:22 The desire 8378 of a man 120 [is] his kindness: 2617 and a poor x7326 man y7326 z8802 x4480 x376 [is] better 2896 than y376 a liar. 3577

 19:23 The fear 3374 of the LORD 3068 [tendeth] to life: 2416 and [he that hath it] shall abide 3885 z8799 satisfied; 7649 he shall not x1077 be visited 6485 z8735 with evil. 7451

 19:24 A slothful 6102 [man] hideth 2934 z8804 his hand 3027 in [his] bosom, 6747 and will not x3808 so much x1571 as bring y7725 z0 it to his mouth y6310 again. 7725 z8686 x413 x6310

 19:25 Smite 5221 z8686 a scorner, 3887 z8801 and the simple 6612 will beware: 6191 z8686 and reprove 3198 z8689 one that hath understanding, 995 z8737 [and] he will understand 995 z8799 knowledge. 1847

 19:26 He that wasteth 7703 z8764 [his] father, 1 [and] chaseth away 1272 z8686 [his] mother, 517 [is] a son 1121 that causeth shame, 954 z8688 and bringeth reproach. 2659 z8688

 19:27 Cease, 2308 z8798 my son, 1121 to hear 8085 z8800 the instruction 4148 [that causeth] to err 7686 z8800 from the words 561 x4480 of knowledge. 1847

 19:28 An ungodly 1100 witness 5707 scorneth 3887 z8686 judgment: 4941 and the mouth 6310 of the wicked 7563 devoureth 1104 z8762 iniquity. 205

 19:29 Judgments 8201 are prepared 3559 z8738 for scorners, 3887 z8801 and stripes 4112 for the back 1460 of fools. 3684
