Proverbs 19

[19:22] The desire of man (is) his mercy, and (is) better (to be) poor than a man of a lie.

[19:11] A man’s wisdom gives him patience; it is to his glory to overlook an offense.

(is) better The poor who walks in his integrity than one crocked (in) his lips; and he (is) a fool. Also, without knowledge the soul not (is) good; and he rushing with (his) feet sins. The folly of man perverts his way; and against Jehovah rages his heart. Wealth adds friends many; but the poor from his neighbor is separated. A witness of falsehoods not clean shall be and a breather of lies not shall escape. Many will beg the face of a noble and all are friends to a man of gifts. All the brothers of a poor man hate him; also surely his friends have been far from him; he pursues (them) (with) words. (yet) not they are. He who gets heart loves his own soul; he who keeps understanding finds good. A witness of falsehood not shall be clean and a breather of lies shall perish. not is becoming for a fool Luxury; much less for a servant to rule over rulers. discretion A man’s make slow his anger; and (it is) glory to pass over a transgression. 

roar (is) like a lion’s rage The kings; but as the dew on the grass (is) his favor. 

A ruin to his father (is) a son foolish, and a dropping never ending the strivings of a woman. House and riches (are) the legacy of fathers; but from Jehovah (is) a woman who acts prudently. 

Laziness makes one fall (into) deep sleep; and a soul idle shall be hungry. He who keeps the command keeps his own soul; he who despises His ways shall die. Lends to Jehovah one favoring the poor and his dealing He will reward to him. Chasten your son, for there is hope; and on making him die not do lift your soul. He great of fury will bear a fine; for if you deliver (him), then again you must add. Hear counsel and accept discipline, that you may be wise in your latter end. Many purposes (are) in heart a man’s; but the counsel of Jehovah, it shall rise. 

The desire of a man (is) his mercy, and (is) better (to be) poor than a man of a lie. 

The fear of Jehovah (tends) to life; and satisfied he lodges. not he shall be visited (with) evil. hides A lazy one his hand in a dish, even to his mouth not he will return it. a scorner strike and the simple will be astute; but reprove a discerner, he will discern knowledge. He who assaults (his) father, chases away (his) mother, a son causing shame and bringing reproach. 

Cease, my son, to hear the discipline, (only) to stray from the words of knowledge. 

A witness worthless scorns justice; and mouth the wicked’s devours evil. are prepared for scorners Judgments, and blows for the back of fools.
