Proverbs
Chapters 19:1-6
New International Version Anglicized
1Better the poor whose way of life is blamelessthan a fool whose lips are perverse.
2Desire without knowledge is not good –how much more will hasty feet miss the way!
3A person’s own folly leads to their ruin,yet their heart rages against the Lord.
4Wealth attracts many friends,but even the closest friend of the poor person deserts them.
5A false witness will not go unpunished,and whoever pours out lies will not go free.
6Many curry favour with a ruler,and everyone is the friend of one who gives gifts.
