Proverbs 19 (KJV)   Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he 
that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool. {2} Also, that the soul be 
without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth. 
{3} The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against 
the LORD. {4} Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his 
neighbour. {5} A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh 
lies shall not escape. {6} Many will entreat the favour of the prince: and 
every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts. {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. {8} He that getteth wisdom 
loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good. {9} A 
false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish. 
{10} Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule 
over princes. {11} The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his 
glory to pass over a transgression. {12} The king's wrath is as the roaring of 
a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass. {13} A foolish son is the 
calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual 
dropping. {14} House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent 
wife is from the LORD. {15} Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an 
idle soul shall suffer hunger. {16} He that keepeth the commandment keepeth 
his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die. {17} He that hath pity 
upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay 
him again. {18} Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul 
spare for his crying. {19} A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for 
if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again. {20} Hear counsel, and receive 
instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end. {21} There are many 
devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall 
stand. {22} The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than 
a liar. {23} The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall 
abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil. {24} A slothful man hideth 
his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again. 
{25} Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath 
understanding, and he will understand knowledge. {26} He that wasteth his 
father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth 
reproach. {27} Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from 
the words of knowledge. {28} An ungodly witness scorneth judgment: and the 
mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity. {29} Judgments are prepared for 
scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.
