man [is] a
friend to him that giveth gifts.

do his

they [are]
wanting [to him].
PR-19:8 He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that
keepeth
understanding shall find good.
PR-19:9 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and [he that]
speaketh lies
shall perish.
PR-19:10 Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a
servant to have
rule over princes.

is] his glory
to pass over a transgression.
PR-19:12 The king's wrath [is] as the roaring of a lion; but
his favour [is]
as dew upon the grass.
PR-19:13 A foolish son [is] the calamity of his father: and the
contentions
of a wife [are] a continual dropping.
PR-19:14 House and riches [are] the inheritance of fathers: and
a prudent
wife [is] from the LORD.
PR-19:15 Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle
soul shall
suffer hunger.
PR-19:16 He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul;
[but] he that
despiseth his ways shall die.
PR-19:17 He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD;
and that
which he hath given will he pay him again.
PR-19:18 Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy
soul spare for
his crying.

thou deliver
[him], yet thou must do it again.
PR-19:20 Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou
mayest be wise in
thy latter end.

of the LORD, that shall stand.

[is] better
than a liar.

hath it] shall
abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.
PR-19:24 A slothful [man] hideth his hand in [his] bosom, and
will not so
much as bring it to his mouth again.
PR-19:25 Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and
reprove one that
hath understanding, [and] he will understand knowledge.

mother, [is]
a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.
PR-19:27 Cease, my son, to hear the instruction [that causeth]
to err from
the words of knowledge.

the wicked
devoureth iniquity.
PR-19:29 Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for
the back of
fools.
