191Better
is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than
he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.+2Also,
that the soul
be without knowledge,
it is
not good; and he that hasteth with
his feet sinneth.+3The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the LORD.+4Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour.+5A false witness shall not be unpunished, and
he that speaketh lies shall not escape.+6Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man
is
a friend to him that giveth gifts.+7All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth
them with words,
yet they
are wanting
to him.+8He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul:
he that keepeth understanding shall find good.+9A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.+10Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.+11The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and
it is his glory to pass over a transgression.+12The king’s wrath
is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour
is as dew upon the grass.+13A foolish son
is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife
are a continual dropping.+14House and riches
are the inheritance of fathers and a prudent wife
is from the LORD.+15Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.+16He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul;
but
he that despiseth his ways shall die.+17He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.+18Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.+19A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver
him, yet thou must do it again.+20Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.+21There are many devices in a man’s heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.+22The desire of a man
is his kindness: and a poor man
is better than a liar.+23The fear of the LORD
tendeth to life: and
he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.+24A slothful
man hideth his hand in
his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.+25Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding,
and he will understand knowledge.+26He that wasteth
his father,
and chaseth away
his mother,
is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.+27Cease, my son, to hear the instruction
that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.+28An ungodly witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity.+29Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.+
