Proverbs 19:6-26 - ESV - Many seek the favor of a generous man, and ever...

6 Many seek the favor of a generous man,^a and everyone is a friend to a man who gives ¹gifts.

7 ²All a poor man's brothers hate him; ³how much more do his friends go far from him! He pursues them with words, but does not have them.^b

8 ⁴Whoever gets sense loves his own soul; he who keeps understanding will ⁵discover good.

9 ⁶A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who ⁷breathes out lies will perish.

10 ⁸It is not fitting for a fool to live in luxury, much less for ⁹a slave to rule over princes.

11 ¹⁰Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense.

12 A king's wrath is like ¹¹the growling of a lion, but his ¹²favor is like ¹³dew on the grass.

13 ¹⁴A foolish son is ruin to his father, and ¹⁵a wife's quarreling is ¹⁶a continual dripping of rain.

14 ¹⁷House and wealth are inherited from fathers, but a prudent wife is ¹⁸from the LORD.

15 ¹⁹Slothfulness casts into ²⁰a deep sleep, and ²¹an idle person will suffer hunger.

16 Whoever ²²keeps the commandment keeps his life; he who despises his ways will die.

17 ²³Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the LORD, and he ²⁴will repay him for his ²⁵deed.

18 ²⁶Discipline your son, for there is hope; do not set your heart on ²⁷putting him to death.

19 A man of great wrath will pay the penalty, for if you deliver him, you will only have to do it again.

20 Listen to advice and accept instruction, that you may gain wisdom in ²⁸the future.

21 ²⁹Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but ³⁰it is the purpose of the LORD ³¹ that will stand.

22 What is desired in a man is steadfast love, and a poor man is better than a liar.

23 The fear of the LORD ³²leads to life, and whoever has it rests ³³satisfied; he will ³⁴not be visited by harm.

24 ³⁵The sluggard buries his hand in ³⁶the dish and will not even bring it back to his mouth.

25 ³⁷Strike ³⁸a scoffer, and the simple will ³⁹learn prudence; ⁴⁰reprove a man of understanding, and he will gain knowledge.

26 He who does violence to his father and chases away his mother is ⁴¹a son who brings shame and reproach.
