Better is the poor who walks in his integrity

Solomon Teaches about Good Behavior

 
1 
Better is the poor who walks in his integritythan he who is perverse in his lips and is a fool. +
2 
It isn't good to have zeal without knowledge;nor being hasty with one's feet and missing the way. +
3 
The foolishness of man subverts his way;his heart rages against The LORD. +
4 
Wealth adds many friends,but the poor is separated from his friend. +
5 
A false witness shall not be unpunished.He who pours out lies shall not go free. +
6 
Many will entreat the favor of a ruler,and everyone is a friend to a man who gives gifts.
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.
8 
He who gets wisdom loves his own soul.He who keeps understanding shall find good. +
9 
A false witness shall not be unpunished.He who utters lies shall perish.
10 
Delicate living is not appropriate for a fool,much less for a servant to have rule over princes. +
11 
The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger.It is his glory to overlook an offense. +
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 the calamity of his father.A wife's quarrels are a continual dripping. +
14 
House and riches are an inheritance from fathers,but a prudent wife is from The LORD. +
15 
Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep.The idle soul shall suffer hunger. +
16 
He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul,but he who is contemptuous in his ways shall die. +
17 
He who has pity on the poor lends to The LORD;he will reward him. +
18 
Discipline your son, for there is hope;don't be a willing party to his death. +
19 
A hot-tempered man must pay the penalty,for if you rescue him, you must do it again. +
20 
Listen to counsel and receive instruction,that you may be wise in your latter end. +
21 
There are many plans in a man's heart,but The LORD's counsel will prevail. +
22 
That which makes a man to be desired is his kindness.A poor man is better than a liar. +
23 
The fear of the LORD leads to life, then contentment;he rests and will not be touched by trouble. +
24 
The sluggard buries his hand in the dish;he will not so much as bring it to his mouth again. +
25 
Flog a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence;rebuke one who has understanding, and he will gain knowledge. +
26 
He who robs his father and drives away his mother,is a son who causes shame and brings reproach. +
27 
If you stop listening to instruction, my son,you will stray from the words of knowledge. +
28 
A corrupt witness mocks justice,and the mouth of the wicked gulps down iniquity. +
29 
Penalties are prepared for scoffers,and beatings for the backs of fools. +
