8 ¹Whoever gets sense loves his own soul; he who keeps understanding will ²discover good.

9 ³A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who ⁴breathes out lies will perish.

10 ⁵It is not fitting for a fool to live in luxury, much less for ⁶a slave to rule over princes.

11 ⁷Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense.

12 A king's wrath is like ⁸the growling of a lion, but his ⁹favor is like ¹⁰dew on the grass.

13 ¹¹A foolish son is ruin to his father, and ¹²a wife's quarreling is ¹³a continual dripping of rain.

14 ¹⁴House and wealth are inherited from fathers, but a prudent wife is ¹⁵from the LORD.

15 ¹⁶Slothfulness casts into ¹⁷a deep sleep, and ¹⁸an idle person will suffer hunger.

16 Whoever ¹⁹keeps the commandment keeps his life; he who despises his ways will die.

17 ²⁰Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the LORD, and he ²¹will repay him for his ²²deed.

18 ²³Discipline your son, for there is hope; do not set your heart on ²⁴putting 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 ²⁵the future.

21 ²⁶Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but ²⁷it is the purpose of the LORD ²⁸ 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 ²⁹leads to life, and whoever has it rests ³⁰satisfied; he will ³¹not be visited by harm.

24 ³²The sluggard buries his hand in ³³the dish and will not even bring it back to his mouth.

25 ³⁴Strike ³⁵a scoffer, and the simple will ³⁶learn prudence; ³⁷reprove a man of understanding, and he will gain knowledge.

26 He who does violence to his father and chases away his mother is ³⁸a son who brings shame and reproach.

27 Cease to hear instruction, my son, ³⁹and you will stray from the words of knowledge.

28 A worthless witness mocks at justice, and the mouth of the wicked ⁴⁰devours iniquity.

Provérbios 19:8 O que adquire a sabedoria é amigo de si mesmo; o que guarda o entendimento prosperará.

Proverbs 19:8 He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.

Proverbs 19:8 He who gets wisdom loves his own soul; He who keeps understanding will find good.

Provérbios 19:8 Quem obtém sabedoria ama-se a si mesmo;quem acalenta o entendimento prospera.
