Proverbs 19:7-19 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

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.

12. The king's displeasure is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass.

13. A foolish son is the calamity of his father; and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.

14. House and wealth are an inheritance from fathers; but a prudent wife is from Jehovah.

15. Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep, and the idle soul shall suffer hunger.

16. He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his soul; he that is careless of his ways shall die.

17. He that is gracious to the poor lendeth unto Jehovah; and what he hath bestowed will he repay unto him.

18. Chasten thy son, seeing there is hope; but set not thy soul upon killing him.

19. A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment; for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again.
