YLT - Proverbs - 19

19:1  Better is the poor walking in his integrity, Than the perverse in his lips, who is a fool.

19:2  Also, without knowledge the soul is not good, And the hasty in feet is sinning.

19:3  The folly of man perverteth his way, And against Jehovah is his heart wroth.

19:4  Wealth addeth many friends, And the poor from his neighbour is separated.

19:5  A false witness is not acquitted, Whoso breatheth out lies is not delivered.

19:6  Many entreat the face of the noble, And all have made friendship to a man of gifts.

19:7  All the brethren of the poor have hated him, Surely also his friends have been far from him, He is pursuing words--they are not!

19:8  Whoso is getting heart is loving his soul, He is keeping understanding to find good.

19:9  A false witness is not acquitted, And whoso breatheth out lies perisheth.

19:10  Luxury is not comely for a fool, Much less for a servant to rule among princes.

19:11  The wisdom of a man hath deferred his anger, And his glory is to pass over transgression.

19:12  The wrath of a king is a growl as of a young lion, And as dew on the herb his good-will.

19:13  A calamity to his father is a foolish son, And the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.

19:14  House and wealth are the inheritance of fathers, And from Jehovah is an understanding wife.

19:15  Sloth causeth deep sleep to fall, And an indolent soul doth hunger.

19:16  Whoso is keeping the command is keeping his soul, Whoso is despising His ways dieth.

19:17  Whoso is lending to Jehovah is favouring the poor, And his deed He repayeth to him.

19:18  Chastise thy son, for there is hope, And to put him to death lift not up thy soul.

19:19  A man of great wrath is bearing punishment, For, if thou dost deliver, yet again thou dost add.

19:20  Hear counsel and receive instruction, So that thou art wise in thy latter end.

19:21  Many are the purposes in a man's heart, And the counsel of Jehovah it standeth.

19:22  The desirableness of a man is his kindness, And better is the poor than a liar.

19:23  The fear of Jehovah is to life, And satisfied he remaineth--he is not charged with evil.

19:24  The slothful hath hidden his hand in a dish, Even unto his mouth he bringeth it not back.

19:25  A scorner smite, and the simple acts prudently, And give reproof to the intelligent, He understandeth knowledge.

19:26  Whoso is spoiling a father causeth a mother to flee, A son causing shame, and bringing confusion.

19:27  Cease, my son, to hear instruction--To err from sayings of knowledge.

19:28  A worthless witness scorneth judgment, And the mouth of the wicked swalloweth iniquity.

19:29  Judgments have been prepared for scorners, And stripes for the back of fools!
