20:019:002 Also, that the soul be without knowledge,
it is not good; and
he
that hasteth with his feet sinneth.
20:019:003 The foolishness of man perverteth his way:
and his heart
fretteth
against the lord.
20:019:004 Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor
is separated from his
neighbour.
20:019:005 A false witness shall not be unpunished,
and he that speaketh
lies
shall not escape.
20:019:006 Many will intreat the favour of the prince:
and every man is a
friend
to him that giveth gifts.
20:019:007 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.
20:019:008 He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul:
he that keepeth
understanding
shall find good.
20:019:009 A false witness shall not be unpunished,
and he that speaketh
lies
shall perish.
20:019:010 Delight is not seemly for a fool; much
less for a servant to
have
rule over princes.
20:019:011 The discretion of a man deferreth his anger;
and it is his
glory
to pass over a transgression.
20:019:012 The king’s wrath is as the roaring
of a lion; but his favour
is
as dew upon the grass.
20:019:013 A foolish son is the calamity of his father:
and the
contentions
of a wife are a continual dropping.
20:019:014 House and riches are the inheritance of
fathers: and a prudent
wife
is from the lord.
20:019:015 Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep;
and an idle soul shall
suffer
hunger.
20:019:016 He that keepeth the commandment keepeth
his own soul; but he
that
despiseth his ways shall die.
20:019:017 He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth
unto the lord; and
that
which he hath given will he pay him again.
20:019:018 Chasten thy son while there is hope, and
let not thy soul
spare
for his crying.
20:019:019 A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment:
for if thou
deliver
him, yet thou must do it again.
20:019:020 Hear counsel, and receive instruction,
that thou mayest be
wise
in thy latter end.
20:019:021 There are many devices in a man’s
heart; nevertheless the
counsel
of the lord, that shall stand.
20:019:022 The desire of a man is his kindness:
and a poor man is better
than
a liar.
20:019:023 The fear of the lord tendeth to life:
and he that hath it
shall
abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.
20:019:024 A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom,
and will not so
much
as bring it to his mouth again.
