Proverbs 19:7-29

19:7

All the brethren
<0251>

of the poor
<07326> (8802)

do hate
<08130> (8804)

him: how much more do his friends
<04828>

go far
<07368> (8804)

from him? he pursueth
<07291> (8764)

[them with] words
<0561>_,

[yet] they [are] wanting [to him].

19:8

He that getteth
<07069> (8802)

wisdom
<03820>

loveth
<0157> (8802)

his own soul
<05315>_:

he that keepeth
<08104> (8802)

understanding
<08394>

shall find
<04672> (8800)

good
<02896>_.

{wisdom: Heb. an heart}

19:9

A false
<08267>

witness
<05707>

shall not be unpunished
<05352> (8735)_,

and [he that] speaketh
<06315> (8686)

lies
<03577>

shall perish
<06> (8799)_.

19:10

Delight
<08588>

is not seemly
<05000>

for a fool
<03684>_;

much less for a servant
<05650>

to have rule
<04910> (8800)

over princes
<08269>_.

19:11

The discretion
<07922>

of a man
<0120>

deferreth
<0748> (8689)

his anger
<0639>_;

and [it is] his glory
<08597>

to pass over
<05674> (8800)

a transgression
<06588>_.

{discretion: or, prudence}

19:12

The king's
<04428>

wrath
<02197>

[is] as the roaring
<05099>

of a lion
<03715>_;

but his favour
<07522>

[is] as dew
<02919>

upon the grass
<06212>_.

19:13

A foolish
<03684>

son
<01121>

[is] the calamity
<01942>

of his father
<01>_:

and the contentions
<04079>

of a wife
<0802>

[are] a continual
<02956> (8802)

dropping
<01812>_.

19:14

House
<01004>

and riches
<01952>

[are] the inheritance
<05159>

of fathers
<01>_:

and a prudent
<07919> (8688)

wife
<0802>

[is] from the LORD
<03068>_.

19:15

Slothfulness
<06103>

casteth
<05307> (8686)

into a deep sleep
<08639>_;

and an idle
<07423>

soul
<05315>

shall suffer hunger
<07456> (8799)_.

19:16

He that keepeth
<08104> (8802)

the commandment
<04687>

keepeth
<08104> (8802)

his own soul
<05315>_;

[but] he that despiseth
<0959> (8802)

his ways
<01870>

shall die
<04191> (8799)_.

19:17

He that hath pity
<02603> (8802)

upon the poor
<01800>

lendeth
<03867> (8688)

unto the LORD
<03068>_;

and that which he hath given
<01576>

will he pay him again
<07999> (8762)_.

{that which...: or, his deed}

19:18

Chasten
<03256> (8761)

thy son
<01121>

while there is
<03426>

hope
<08615>_,

and let not thy soul
<05315>

spare
<05375> (8799)

for his crying
<04191> (8687)_.

{for...: or, to his destruction: or, to cause him to die}

19:19

A man
<01419>

of great
<01632>

wrath
<02534>

shall suffer
<05375> (8802)

punishment
<06066>_:

for if thou deliver
<05337> (8686)

[him], yet thou must do it again
<03254> (8686)_.

{do: Heb. add}

19:20

Hear
<08085> (8798)

counsel
<06098>_,

and receive
<06901> (8761)

that thou mayest be wise
<02449> (8799)

in thy latter end
<0319>_.

19:21

[There are] many
<07227>

devices
<04284>

in a man's
<0376>

heart
<03820>_;

nevertheless the counsel
<06098>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

that shall stand
<06965> (8799)_.

19:22

The desire
<08378>

of a man
<0120>

[is] his kindness
<02617>_:

and a poor man
<07326> (8802)

[is] better
<02896>

than
<0376>

a liar
<03577>_.

19:23

The fear
<03374>

of the LORD
<03068>

[tendeth] to life
<02416>_:

and [he that hath it] shall abide
<03885> (8799)

satisfied
<07649>_;

he shall not be visited
<06485> (8735)

with evil
<07451>_.

19:24

A slothful
<06102>

[man] hideth
<02934> (8804)

his hand
<03027>

in [his] bosom
<06747>_,

and will not so much as bring
<07725> (0)

it to his mouth
<06310>

again
<07725> (8686)_.

19:25

Smite
<05221> (8686)

a scorner
<03887> (8801)_,

and the simple

<06191> (8686)_:

and reprove
<03198> (8689)

one that hath understanding
<0995> (8737)_,

[and] he will understand
<0995> (8799)

knowledge
<01847>_.

{will beware: Heb. will be cunning}

19:26

<07703> (8764)

[his] father
<01>_,

[and] chaseth away
<01272> (8686)

[his] mother
<0517>_,

[is] a son
<01121>

that causeth shame
<0954> (8688)_,

and bringeth reproach
<02659> (8688)_.

19:27

<02308> (8798)_,

my son
