Proverbs 19 New International Version (NIV)

19 Better the poor whose walk is blameless

than a fool whose lips are perverse.

2 Desire without knowledge is not good—

how much more will hasty feet miss the way!

3 A person’s own folly leads to their ruin,

yet their heart rages against the Lord.

4 Wealth attracts many friends,

but even the closest friend of the poor person deserts them.

5 A false witness will not go unpunished,

and whoever pours out lies will not go free.

6 Many curry favor with a ruler,

and everyone is the friend of one who gives gifts.

7 The poor are shunned by all their relatives—

how much more do their friends avoid them!

Though the poor pursue them with pleading,

they are nowhere to be found.[a]

8 The one who gets wisdom loves life;

the one who cherishes understanding will soon prosper.

9 A false witness will not go unpunished,

and whoever pours out lies will perish.

10 It is not fitting for a fool to live in luxury—

how much worse for a slave to rule over princes!

11 A person’s wisdom yields patience;

it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense.

12 A king’s rage is like the roar of a lion,

but his favor is like dew on the grass.

13 A foolish child is a father’s ruin,

and a quarrelsome wife is like

the constant dripping of a leaky roof.

14 Houses and wealth are inherited from parents,

but a prudent wife is from the Lord.

15 Laziness brings on deep sleep,

and the shiftless go hungry.

16 Whoever keeps commandments keeps their life,

but whoever shows contempt for their ways will die.

17 Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord,

and he will reward them for what they have done.

18 Discipline your children, for in that there is hope;

do not be a willing party to their death.

19 A hot-tempered person must pay the penalty;

rescue them, and you will have to do it again.

20 Listen to advice and accept discipline,

and at the end you will be counted among the wise.

21 Many are the plans in a person’s heart,

but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.

22 What a person desires is unfailing love[b];

better to be poor than a liar.
