Proverbs 19:1-5 Common English Bible (CEB)

1. Better to be poor and walk in innocencethan to have dishonest lips and be a fool.

2. Ignorant desire isn’t good;rushing feet make mistakes.

3. People’s own folly corrupts their way,but their hearts rage against the Lord.

4. Riches increase one’s friends,but the poor lose their friends.

5. A false witness won’t go unpunished,and a liar won’t escape.
