Proverbs 19:12-24
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 19
12
A king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion,
But his favor is like dew on the grass.
13
A foolish son is destruction to his father,
And the quarrels of a wife are a constant dripping.
14
House and wealth are an inheritance from fathers,
But a prudent wife is from the
Lord
.
15
Laziness casts
one
into a deep sleep,
And a lazy person will suffer hunger.
16
One who keeps the commandment keeps his soul,
But
one who is careless of conduct will die.
17
One who is gracious to a poor person lends to the
Lord
,
And He will repay him for his good deed.
18
Discipline your son while there is hope,
And do not desire his death.
19
A person of
great anger will suffer the penalty,
For if you rescue
him,
you will only have to do it again.
20
Listen to advice and accept discipline,
So that you may be wise the rest of your days.
21
Many plans are in a person’s heart,
But the advice of the
Lord
will stand.
22
What is desirable in a person is his kindness,
And
it is
better to be a poor person than a liar.
23
The fear of the
Lord
leads
to life,
So that one may sleep satisfied, untouched by evil.
24
The lazy one buries his hand in the dish,
But
will not even bring it back to his mouth.
King James Version
Chapter 19
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.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 19
12
A king’s rage is like the roaring of a lion,
but his favor is like dew on the grass.
13
A foolish son is his father’s ruin,
and a wife’s nagging is an endless dripping.
14
A house and wealth are inherited from fathers,
but a prudent wife is from the
Lord
.
15
Laziness induces deep sleep,
and a lazy person will go hungry.
16
The one who keeps commands preserves himself;
one who disregards his ways will die.
17
Kindness to the poor is a loan to the
Lord
,
and he will give a reward to the lender.
18
Discipline your son while there is hope;
don’t set your heart on being the cause of his death.
19
A person with intense anger bears the penalty;
if you rescue him, you’ll have to do it again.
20
Listen to counsel and receive instruction
so that you may be wise later in life.
21
Many plans are in a person’s heart,
but the
Lord
’s decree will prevail.
22
What is desirable in a person is his fidelity;
better to be a poor person than a liar.
23
The fear of the
Lord
leads to life;
one will sleep at night without danger.
24
The slacker buries his hand in the bowl;
he doesn’t even bring it back to his mouth!
New Living Translation
Chapter 19
12
The king’s anger is like a lion’s roar,
but his favor is like dew on the grass.
13
A foolish child is a calamity to a father;
a quarrelsome wife is as annoying as constant dripping.
14
Fathers can give their sons an inheritance of houses and wealth,
but only the
Lord
can give an understanding wife.
15
Lazy people sleep soundly,
but idleness leaves them hungry.
16
Keep the commandments and keep your life;
despising them leads to death.
17
If you help the poor, you are lending to the
Lord
—
and he will repay you!
18
Discipline your children while there is hope.
Otherwise you will ruin their lives.
19
Hot-tempered people must pay the penalty.
If you rescue them once, you will have to do it again.
20
Get all the advice and instruction you can,
so you will be wise the rest of your life.
21
You can make many plans,
but the
Lord
’s purpose will prevail.
22
Loyalty makes a person attractive.
It is better to be poor than dishonest.
23
Fear of the
Lord
leads to life,
bringing security and protection from harm.
24
Lazy people take food in their hand
but don’t even lift it to their mouth.
