He who pours out lies shall not go free. 19:6 Many will entreat the favor of a ruler, And everyone is a friend to a man who gives gifts. 19:7 All the relatives of the poor shun him: How much more do his friends avoid him! He pursues them with pleas, but they are gone. 19:8 He who gets wisdom loves his own soul. He who keeps understanding shall find good. 19:9 A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who utters lies shall perish. 19:10 Delicate living is not appropriate for a fool, Much less for a servant to have rule over princes. 19:11 The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger. It is his glory to overlook an offense. 19:12 The king`s wrath is like the roaring of a lion, But his favor is like dew on the grass. 19:13 A foolish son is the calamity of his father. A wife`s quarrels are a continual dripping. 19:14 House and riches are an inheritance from fathers, But a prudent wife is from Yahweh. 19:15 Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep. The idle soul shall suffer hunger. 19:16 He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul, But he who is contemptuous in his ways shall die. 19:17 He who has pity on the poor lends to Yahweh; He will reward him. 19:18 Discipline your son, for there is hope; Don`t be a willing party to his death. 19:19 A hot-tempered man must pay the penalty, For if you rescue him, you must do it again. 19:20 Listen to counsel and receive instruction, That you may be wise in your latter end. 19:21 There are many plans in a man`s heart, But Yahweh`s counsel will prevail. 19:22 That which makes a man to be desired is his kindness. A poor man is better than a liar. 19:23 The fear of Yahweh leads to life, then contentment; He rests and will not be touched by trouble. 19:24 The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; He will not so much as bring it to his mouth again. 19:25 Flog a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; Rebuke one who has understanding, and he will gain knowledge. 19:26 He who robs his father and drives away his mother, Is a son who causes shame and brings reproach. 19:27 Stop, my son, listening to instruction, And you will stray from the words of knowledge. 19:28 A corrupt witness mocks justice, And the mouth of the wicked gulps down iniquity. 19:29 Penalties are prepared for scoffers, And beatings for the backs of fools.
