Proverbs 19:2-11 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

2. Also, that the soul be without knowledge is not good; and he that hastens with his feet sins.

3. The foolishness of man perverts his way: and his heart frets against the LORD.

4. Wealth makes many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbor.

5. A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaks lies shall not escape.

6. Many will entreat the favor of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that gives gifts.

7. All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursues them with words, yet they are nothing to him.

8. He that gets wisdom loves his own soul: he that keeps understanding shall find good.

9. A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaks lies shall perish.

10. Luxury is not fitting for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.

11. The discretion of a man delays his anger; and it is his glory to overlook a transgression.
