19:001

Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity than he that is perverse in his lips and a fool at the same time

19:002

Also, that the soul be without knowledge is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth

19:003

The foolishness of man perverteth his way; and his heart fretteth against HaShem

19:004

Wealth addeth many friends; but as for the poor, his friend separateth himself from him

19:005

A false witness shall not be unpunished; and he that breatheth forth lies shall not escape

19:006

Many will entreat the favour of the liberal man; and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts

19:007

All the brethren of the poor do hate him; how much more do his friends go far from him! He that pursueth words, they turn against him

19:008

He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul; he that keepeth understanding shall find good

19:009

A false witness shall not be unpunished; and he that breatheth forth lies shall perish

19:010

Luxury is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes

19:011

It is the discretion of a man to be slow to anger, and it is his glory to pass over a transgression

19:012

The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass

19:013

A foolish son is the calamity of his father; and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping

19:014

House and riches are the inheritance of fathers; but a prudent wife is from HaShem

19:015

Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and the idle soul shall suffer hunger

19:016

He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his soul; but he that despiseth His ways shall die

19:017

He that is gracious unto the poor lendeth unto HaShem; and his good deed will He repay unto him

19:018

Chasten thy son, for there is hope; but set not thy heart on his destruction

19:019

A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment; for if thou interpose, thou wilt add thereto

19:020

Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end

19:021

There are many devices in a man's heart; but the counsel of HaShem, that shall stand

19:022

The lust of a man is his shame; and a poor man is better than a liar

19:023

The fear of HaShem tendeth to life; and he that hath it shall abide satisfied, he shall not be visited with evil

19:024

The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish, and will not so much as bring it back to his mouth

19:025

When thou smitest a scorner, the simple will become prudent; and when one that hath understanding is reproved, he will understand knowledge

19:026

A son that dealeth shamefully and reproachfully will despoil his father, and chase away his mother

19:027

Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge

19:028

An ungodly witness mocketh at right; and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity

19:029

Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools
