Proverbs 19:4-29 - ESV - Wealth brings many new friends, but a poor man ...

4 ¹Wealth brings many new friends, ²but a poor man is deserted by his friend.

5 ³A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who ⁴breathes 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 ⁵gifts.

7 ⁶All a poor man's brothers hate him; ⁷how much more do his friends go far from him! He pursues them with words, but does not have them.^b

8 ⁸Whoever gets sense loves his own soul; he who keeps understanding will ⁹discover good.

9 ¹⁰A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who ¹¹breathes out lies will perish.

10 ¹²It is not fitting for a fool to live in luxury, much less for ¹³a slave to rule over princes.

11 ¹⁴Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense.

12 A king's wrath is like ¹⁵the growling of a lion, but his ¹⁶favor is like ¹⁷dew on the grass.

13 ¹⁸A foolish son is ruin to his father, and ¹⁹a wife's quarreling is ²⁰a continual dripping of rain.

14 ²¹House and wealth are inherited from fathers, but a prudent wife is ²²from the LORD.

15 ²³Slothfulness casts into ²⁴a deep sleep, and ²⁵an idle person will suffer hunger.

16 Whoever ²⁶keeps the commandment keeps his life; he who despises his ways will die.

17 ²⁷Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the LORD, and he ²⁸will repay him for his ²⁹deed.

18 ³⁰Discipline your son, for there is hope; do not set your heart on ³¹putting 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 ³²the future.

21 ³³Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but ³⁴it is the purpose of the LORD ³⁵ 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 ³⁶leads to life, and whoever has it rests ³⁷satisfied; he will ³⁸not be visited by harm.

24 ³⁹The sluggard buries his hand in ⁴⁰the dish and will not even bring it back to his mouth.

25 ⁴¹Strike ⁴²a scoffer, and the simple will ⁴³learn prudence; ⁴⁴reprove a man of understanding, and he will gain knowledge.

26 He who does violence to his father and chases away his mother is ⁴⁵a son who brings shame and reproach.

27 Cease to hear instruction, my son, ⁴⁶and you will stray from the words of knowledge.

28 A worthless witness mocks at justice, and the mouth of the wicked ⁴⁷devours iniquity.

29 Condemnation is ready for ⁴⁸scoffers, and ⁴⁹beating for the backs of fools.
