Proverbs 19:2-11 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

2. Also that a person be without knowledge is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet maketh false steps.

3. The folly of man distorteth his way, and his heart is irritated against Jehovah.

4. Wealth addeth many friends; but the poor is separated from his friend.

5. A false witness shall not be held innocent, and he that uttereth lies shall not escape.

6. Many court the favour of a noble; and every one is friend to a man that giveth.

7. All the brethren of a poor man hate him; how much more do his friends go far from him: he pursueth them with words, --they are not to be found.

8. He that getteth sense loveth his own soul; he that keepeth understanding shall find good.

9. A false witness shall not be held innocent, and he that uttereth lies shall perish.

10. Good living beseemeth not a fool; how much less for a servant to have rule over princes.

11. The discretion of a man maketh him slow to anger, and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
