52 Week Bible Reading Plan

Proverbs 19

1

Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity Than he who is perverse in speech and is a fool.

2

Also it is not good for a person to be without knowledge, And he who hurries his footsteps errs.

3

The foolishness of man ruins his way, And his heart rages against the LORD.

4

Wealth adds many friends, But a poor man is separated from his friend.

5

A false witness will not go unpunished, And he who tells lies will not escape.

6

Many will seek the favor of a generous man, And every man is a friend to him who gives gifts.

7

All the brothers of a poor man hate him; How much more do his friends abandon him! He pursues them with words, but they are gone.

8

He who gets wisdom loves his own soul; He who keeps understanding will find good.

9

A false witness will not go unpunished, And he who tells lies will perish.

10

Luxury is not fitting for a fool; Much less for a slave to rule over princes.

11

A man's discretion makes him slow to anger, And it is his glory to overlook a transgression.

12

The king's wrath is like the roaring of a lion, But his favor is like dew on the grass.

13

A foolish son is destruction to his father, And the contentions of a wife are a constant dripping.

14

House and wealth are an inheritance from fathers, But a prudent wife is from the LORD.

15

Laziness casts into a deep sleep, And an idle man will suffer hunger.

16

He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul, But he who is careless of conduct will die.

17

One who is gracious to a poor man lends to the LORD, And He will repay him for his good deed.

18

Discipline your son while there is hope, And do not desire his death.

19

A man of great anger will bear the penalty, For if you rescue him, you will only have to do it again.

20

Listen to counsel and accept discipline, That you may be wise the rest of your days.

21

Many plans are in a man's heart, But the counsel of the LORD will stand.

22

What is desirable in a man is his kindness, And it is better to be a poor man than a liar.

23

The fear of the LORD leads to life, So that one may sleep satisfied, untouched by evil.

24

The sluggard buries his hand in the dish, But will not even bring it back to his mouth.

25

Strike a scoffer and the naive may become shrewd, But reprove one who has understanding and he will gain knowledge.

26

He who assaults his father and drives his mother away Is a shameful and disgraceful son.

27

Cease listening, my son, to discipline, And you will stray from the words of knowledge.

28

A rascally witness makes a mockery of justice, And the mouth of the wicked spreads iniquity.

29

Judgments are prepared for scoffers, And blows for the back of fools. 20
