Strongs On/Off
Context
19:1 Better is a poor person who walks in his integrity than one who is perverse in his speech and is a fool. 19:2 It is dangerous to have zeal without knowledge, and the one who acts hastily makes poor choices. 19:3 A person’s folly subverts his way, and his heart rages against the Lord. 19:4 Wealth adds many friends, but a poor person is separated from his friend. 19:5 A false witness will not go unpunished, and the one who spouts out lies will not escape punishment.
