Prov Chapter 19

1 Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.

Prov 28:6  Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.

2 Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.

3 The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the LORD.

Psalms 37:7  Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

4 Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour.

Prov 14:20  The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many friends

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

Exodus 23:1  Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.

6 Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.

Prov 29:26  Many seek the ruler's favour; but every man's judgment cometh from the LORD.

Prov 17:8  A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.

7 All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him.

Prov 14:20  The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many friends.

Psalms 38:11  My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.

8 He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.

Prov 16:20  He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.

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

 

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

Prov 30:22  For a servant when he reigneth; and a fool when he is filled with meat;

11 The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.

James 1:19  Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath

Prov 16:32  He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.

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

Prov 16:14  The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: but a wise man will pacify it.

Hosea 14:5  I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.

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

Prov 10:1  The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.

Prov 21:9  It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.

Prov 21:19  It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.

14 House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD.

2 Cor 12:14  Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.

Prov 18:22  Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.

15 Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

Prov 6:9  How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?

Prov 10:4  He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.

16 He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die.

Luke 10:28  And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.

17 He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.

2 Cor 9:6  But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.

18 Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.

Prov 13:24  He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

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

20 Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.

Psalms 37:37  Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.

21 There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.

Heb 6:17  Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:

22 The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.

23 The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.

1 Tim 4:8  For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.

24 A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

Prov 15:19  The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain.

25 Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.

Duet 13:11  And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wickedness as this is among you.

Prov 9:8  Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.

26 He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.

Prov 17:2  A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren.

27 Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.

28 An ungodly witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity.

Job 15:16  How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water?

29 Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.

Prov 26:3  A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back.
