Proverbs Chapter 19

1 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.

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.

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.

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.

Proverbs Chapter 20

1 Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived 
thereby is not wise.

2 The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion: whoso provoketh him to 
anger sinneth against his own soul.

3 It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be 
meddling.

4 The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he 
beg in harvest, and have nothing.

5 Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of 
understanding will draw it out.

6 Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man 
who can find?

7 The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.

8 A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil 
with his eyes.

9 Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?

10 Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike 
abomination to the LORD.

11 Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and 
whether it be right.

12 The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD hath made even both of 
them.

13 Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou 
shalt be satisfied with bread.

14 It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer: but when he is gone his 
way, then he boasteth.

15 There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge 
are a precious jewel.

16 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger: and take a pledge of 
him for a strange woman.

17 Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be 
filled with gravel.

18 Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.

19 He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore 
meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.

20 Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in 
obscure darkness.

21 An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; but the end 
thereof shall not be blessed.

22 Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the LORD, and he 
shall save thee.

23 Divers weights are an abomination unto the LORD; and a false balance 
is not good.

24 Man's goings are of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way?

25 It is a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy, and after 
vows to make enquiry.

26 A wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth the wheel over them.

27 The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward 
parts of the belly.

28 Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upholden by mercy.

29 The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men 
is the gray head.

30 The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward 
parts of the belly.

Proverbs Chapter 21

1 The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: 
he turneth it whithersoever he will.

2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth 
the hearts.

3 To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.

4 An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.

5 The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every 
one that is hasty only to want.

6 The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and 
fro of them that seek death.

7 The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to 
do judgment.

8 The way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure, his work 
is right.

9 It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a 
brawling woman in a wide house.

10 The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour 
in his eyes.

11 When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the 
wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.

12 The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked: but God 
overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness.

13 Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry 
himself, but shall not be heard.

14 A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the bosom strong wrath.

15 It is joy to the just to do judgment: but destruction shall be to the 
workers of iniquity.

16 The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain 
in the congregation of the dead.

17 He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and 
oil shall not be rich.

18 The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor 
for the upright.

19 It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and 
an angry woman.

20 There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; 
but a foolish man spendeth it up.

21 He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, 
righteousness, and honour.

22 A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the 
strength of the confidence thereof.

23 Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.

24 Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.

25 The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour.

26 He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giveth and 
spareth not.

27 The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more, when he 
bringeth it with a wicked mind?

28 A false witness shall perish: but the man that heareth speaketh 
constantly.

29 A wicked man hardeneth his face: but as for the upright, he directeth 
his way.

30 There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD.

31 The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the 
LORD.
