Proverbs 19:3-29 - ESV - When a man's folly brings his way to ruin, his ...

3 When a man's folly ¹brings his way to ruin, his heart ²rages against the LORD.

4 ³Wealth brings many new friends, ⁴but a poor man is deserted by his friend.

5 ⁵A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who ⁶breathes out lies will not escape.

6 Many seek the favor of a generous man,^a and everyone is a friend to a man who gives ⁷gifts.

7 ⁸All a poor man's brothers hate him; ⁹how much more do his friends go far from him! He pursues them with words, but does not have them.^b

8 ¹⁰Whoever gets sense loves his own soul; he who keeps understanding will ¹¹discover good.

9 ¹²A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who ¹³breathes out lies will perish.

10 ¹⁴It is not fitting for a fool to live in luxury, much less for ¹⁵a slave to rule over princes.

11 ¹⁶Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense.

12 A king's wrath is like ¹⁷the growling of a lion, but his ¹⁸favor is like ¹⁹dew on the grass.

13 ²⁰A foolish son is ruin to his father, and ²¹a wife's quarreling is ²²a continual dripping of rain.

14 ²³House and wealth are inherited from fathers, but a prudent wife is ²⁴from the LORD.

15 ²⁵Slothfulness casts into ²⁶a deep sleep, and ²⁷an idle person will suffer hunger.

16 Whoever ²⁸keeps the commandment keeps his life; he who despises his ways will die.

17 ²⁹Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the LORD, and he ³⁰will repay him for his ³¹deed.

18 ³²Discipline your son, for there is hope; do not set your heart on ³³putting 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 ³⁴the future.

21 ³⁵Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but ³⁶it is the purpose of the LORD ³⁷ 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 ³⁸leads to life, and whoever has it rests ³⁹satisfied; he will ⁴⁰not be visited by harm.

24 ⁴¹The sluggard buries his hand in ⁴²the dish and will not even bring it back to his mouth.

25 ⁴³Strike ⁴⁴a scoffer, and the simple will ⁴⁵learn prudence; ⁴⁶reprove a man of understanding, and he will gain knowledge.

26 He who does violence to his father and chases away his mother is ⁴⁷a son who brings shame and reproach.

27 Cease to hear instruction, my son, ⁴⁸and you will stray from the words of knowledge.

28 A worthless witness mocks at justice, and the mouth of the wicked ⁴⁹devours iniquity.

29 Condemnation is ready for ⁵⁰scoffers, and ⁵¹beating for the backs of fools.

Provérbios 19:3 A estultícia do homem perverte o seu caminho, e o seu coração se irrita contra o Senhor.

Proverbs 19:3 The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the LORD.

Proverbs 19:3 The foolishness of a man twists his way, And his heart frets against the Lord.

Provérbios 19:3 É a insensatez do homem que arruína a sua vida,mas o seu coração se ira contra o SENHOR.
