Proverbs 19:1-17 - ESV - Better is a poor person who walks in his integr...

1 ¹Better is a poor person who ²walks in his integrity than one who is crooked in speech and is a fool.

2 Desire^a without knowledge is not good, and whoever ³makes haste with his feet misses his way.

3 When a man's folly ⁴brings his way to ruin, his heart ⁵rages against the LORD.

4 ⁶Wealth brings many new friends, ⁷but a poor man is deserted by his friend.

5 ⁸A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who ⁹breathes out lies will not escape.

6 Many seek the favor of a generous man,^b and everyone is a friend to a man who gives ¹⁰gifts.

7 ¹¹All a poor man's brothers hate him; ¹²how much more do his friends go far from him! He pursues them with words, but does not have them.^c

8 ¹³Whoever gets sense loves his own soul; he who keeps understanding will ¹⁴discover good.

9 ¹⁵A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who ¹⁶breathes out lies will perish.

10 ¹⁷It is not fitting for a fool to live in luxury, much less for ¹⁸a slave to rule over princes.

11 ¹⁹Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense.

12 A king's wrath is like ²⁰the growling of a lion, but his ²¹favor is like ²²dew on the grass.

13 ²³A foolish son is ruin to his father, and ²⁴a wife's quarreling is ²⁵a continual dripping of rain.

14 ²⁶House and wealth are inherited from fathers, but a prudent wife is ²⁷from the LORD.

15 ²⁸Slothfulness casts into ²⁹a deep sleep, and ³⁰an idle person will suffer hunger.

16 Whoever ³¹keeps the commandment keeps his life; he who despises his ways will die.

17 ³²Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the LORD, and he ³³will repay him for his ³⁴deed.
