Provérbios 19

1 Better is the poor who walks in his integrity

2 It isn’t good to have zeal without knowledge,

3 The foolishness of man subverts his way;

4 Wealth adds many friends,

5 A false witness shall not be unpunished.

6 Many will entreat the favour of a ruler,

7 All the relatives of the poor shun him;

8 He who gets wisdom loves his own soul.

9 A false witness shall not be unpunished.

10 Delicate living is not appropriate for a fool,

11 The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger.

12 The king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion,

13 A foolish son is the calamity of his father.

14 House and riches are an inheritance from fathers,

15 Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep.

16 He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul,

17 He who has pity on the poor lends to the LORD;

18 Discipline your son, for there is hope;

19 A hot-tempered man must pay the penalty,

20 Listen to counsel and receive instruction,

21 There are many plans in a man’s heart,

22 That which makes a man to be desired is his kindness.

23 The fear of the LORD leads to life, then contentment;

24 The sluggard buries his hand in the dish;

25 Flog a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence;

26 He who robs his father and drives away his mother

27 If you stop listening to instruction, my son,

28 A corrupt witness mocks justice,

29 Penalties are prepared for scoffers,
