Take note of these:
Proverbs 19:1-7
King James Version
19 Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity,
than he that is perverse in his lips,
and is a fool.
2 Also, that the soul be without knowledge,
it is not good;
and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.
3 The foolishness of man perverteth his way:
and his heart fretteth against the Lord.
4 Wealth maketh many friends;
but the poor is separated from his neighbour.
5 A false witness shall not be unpunished,
and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.
6 Many will intreat the favour of the prince:
and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.
7 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.
Proverbs 19:8-19
King James Version
8 He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul:
he that keepeth understanding shall find good.
9 A false witness shall not be unpunished,
and he that speaketh lies shall perish.
10 Delight is not seemly for a fool;
much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
11 The discretion of a man deferreth his anger;
and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
12 The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion;
but his favour is as dew upon the grass.
13 A foolish son is the calamity of his father:
and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.
14 House and riches are the inheritance of fathers:
and a prudent wife is from the Lord.
15 Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep;
and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
16 He that keepeth the commandment
keepeth his own soul;
but he that despiseth his ways shall die.
17 He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord;
and that which he hath given will he pay him again.
18 Chasten thy son while there is hope,
and let not thy soul spare for his crying.
19 A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment:
for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again.
Proverbs 19:20-23
King James Version
20 Hear counsel,
and receive instruction,
that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
21 There are many devices in a man's heart;
nevertheless the counsel of the Lord,
that shall stand.
22 The desire of a man is his kindness:
and a poor man is better than a liar.
23 The fear of the Lord tendeth to life:
and he that hath it shall abide satisfied;
he shall not be visited with evil.
Proverbs 19:24-29
King James Version
24 A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom,
and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
25 Smite a scorner,
and the simple will beware:
and reprove one that hath understanding,
and he will understand knowledge.
26 He that wasteth his father,
and chaseth away his mother,
is a son that causeth shame,
and bringeth reproach.
27 Cease, my son,
to hear the instruction that causeth to err
from the words of knowledge.
28 An ungodly witness scorneth judgment:
and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity.
29 Judgments are prepared for scorners,
and stripes for the back of fools.
