Proverbs 19 is part of “The Proverbs of Solomon: Part One” (10:1–22:16) in the outline of Proverbs.
1 Better is the poore that walketh in his vprightnes, then he that abuseth his lips, and is a foole.
2 For without knowledge the minde is not good, and he that hasteth with his feete, sinneth.
3 The foolishnesse of a man peruerteth his way, and his heart freateth against the Lord.
4 Riches gather many friends: but the poore is separated from his neighbour.
5 A false witnes shall not be vnpunished: and he that speaketh lyes, shall not escape.
6 Many reuerence the face of the prince, and euery man is friend to him that giueth giftes.
7 All the brethren of the poore doe hate him: howe much more will his friends depart farre from him? though hee be instant with wordes, yet they will not.
8 He that possesseth vnderstanding, loueth his owne soule, and keepeth wisdome to finde goodnesse.
9 A false witnes shall not be vnpunished: and he that speaketh lyes, shall perish.
10 Pleasure is not comely for a foole, much lesse for a seruant to haue rule ouer princes.
11 The discretion of man deferreth his anger: and his glory is to passe by an offence.
12 The Kings wrath is like the roaring of a lyon: but his fauour is like the dewe vpon ye grasse.
13 A foolish sonne is the calamitie of his father, and the contentions of a wife are like a continuall dropping.
14 House and riches are the inheritance of the fathers: but a prudent wife commeth of the Lord.
15 Slouthfulnes causeth to fall asleepe, and a deceitfull person shall be affamished.
16 He that keepeth the commandement, keepeth his owne soule: but hee that despiseth his wayes, shall dye.
17 He that hath mercy vpon the poore, lendeth vnto the Lord: and the Lord will recompense him that which he hath giuen.
18 Chasten thy sonne while there is hope, and let not thy soule spare for his murmuring.
19 A man of much anger shall suffer punishment: and though thou deliuer him, yet wil his anger come againe.
