Proverbs 19


1) Or desire without knowledge is not good 2) Or misseth his way


1) Or the friend of the poor separateth himself from him

1) Heb breatheth out

1) Or a prince
7All the brethren of the poor do hate him: How much more do his friends go far from him! He pursueth them with words, but they are gone.
1) Or He pursueth after words, which are nought

1) Heb heart

1) Heb breatheth out



12The king’s wrath is as the roaring of a lion; But his favor is as dew upon the grass.




16He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his soul; But he that is careless of his ways shall die.
1) Heb despiseth


18Chasten thy son, seeing there is hope; And set not thy heart on his destruction.
1) Heb causing him to die

19A man of great wrath shall bear the penalty; For if thou deliver him , thou must do it yet again.

1) Or correction



23The fear of Jehovah tendeth to life; And he that hath it shall abide satisfied; He shall not be visited with evil.


25Smite a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; And reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.


27Cease, my son, to hear instruction Only to err from the words of knowledge.
