Proverbs 19:2-8 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

2. Even zeal is not good without knowledge, and the one who acts hastily sins.

3. A man’s own foolishness leads him astray,yet his heart rages against the Lord.

4. Wealth attracts many friends, but a poor man is separated from his friend.

5. A false witness will not go unpunished, and one who utters lies will not escape.

6. Many seek a ruler’s favor, and everyone is a friend of one who gives gifts.

7. All the brothers of a poor man hate him; how much more do his friendskeep their distance from him!He may pursue them with words, but they are not there.

8. The one who acquires good sense loves himself;one who safeguards understanding finds success.
