     The subjects of chapter 19 are these: A poor man with integrity is better than a perverse fool (1). It is not good for a soul to be without knowledge; and he who hastes with his feet sins (2). A man perverts his way by folly, but his heart is angry against the LORD (3). Wealth makes many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbor (4). A false witness will not be unpunished; and he who speaks lies shall not escape -- compare verse nine (5). Many will plead for the favor of the prince; and everyone is friendly to one who gives gifts (6). All the brothers of the poor hate him; his friends go far away; he calls to them without effect (7). He who gets wisdom loves his own soul; he who keeps understanding will find good (8). A false witness shall not be unpunished; and he who speaks lies shall perish -- compare verse five (9). Luxury is not appropriate for a fool, nor is it suitable for a servant to rule over princes (10). The discretion of a man defers his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression (11). The king's wrath is like the roaring of a lion; but his favor is like dew on the grass (12). A foolish son is the calamity of his father; and the contentions of a wife are like constant dripping (13). A house and wealth are inherited from fathers; but a prudent wife is from the LORD (14). Slothfulness casts one into a deep sleep; and an idle person suffers hunger (15). Whoever keeps the commandment deeps his life; but he who neglects his way dies (16). He that has pity upon the poor lends to the LORD; and that which he gave, the LORD will repay (17). Chasten your son while there is hope; do not relent when he cries (18). A man of great wrath will suffer punishment because you must deliver him constantly (19). Hear counsel and receive instruction that you may be wise at the end of your life (20). Man has many plans; but it is the counsel of the LORD which shall stand (21). Kindness makes a man desirable; and a poor man is better than a liar (22). The fear of the LORD is life-giving, satisfying, and delivers one from evil (23). A slothful man hides his hand in his bosom and will not even bring it to his mouth again (24). Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware; reprove one that has understanding and he will understand knowledge (25). He who deals violently with his father and causes his mother to flee is a son who brings shame and reproach (26). Cease to hear instruction which causes you to err from the words of knowledge (27). An ungodly witness scorns judgment; and the mouth of the wicked devours iniquity (28). Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes are for the backs of fools (29).
