Proverbs 19:2-12
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 19
2
Also it is not good for a person to be without knowledge,
And one who hurries his footsteps errs.
3
The foolishness of a person ruins his way,
And his heart rages against the
Lord
.
4
Wealth adds many friends,
But a poor person is separated from his friend.
5
A false witness will not go unpunished,
And one
who
declares lies will not escape.
6
Many will seek the favor of a generous person,
And every person is a friend to him who
gives
gifts.
7
All the brothers of a poor person hate him;
How much more do his friends abandon him!
He pursues
them with
words,
but
they are gone.
8
One who gets wisdom loves his own soul;
One who keeps understanding will find good.
9
A false witness will not go unpunished,
And one
who
declares lies will perish.
10
Luxury is not fitting for a fool;
Much less for a slave to rule over princes.
11
A person’s discretion makes him slow to anger,
And it is his glory to overlook an offense.
12
A king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion,
But his favor is like dew on the grass.
King James Version
Chapter 19
2
Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.
3
The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the
Lord
.
4
Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour.
5
A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.
6
Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.
7
All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him.
8
He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.
9
A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.
10
Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
11
The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
12
The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 19
2
Even zeal is not good without knowledge,
and the one who acts hastily sins.
3
A person’s own foolishness leads him astray,
yet his heart rages against the
Lord
.
4
Wealth attracts many friends,
but a poor person is separated from his friend.
5
A false witness will not go unpunished,
and one who utters lies will not escape.
6
Many seek a ruler’s favor,
and everyone is a friend of one who gives gifts.
7
All the brothers of a poor person hate him;
how much more do his friends
keep their distance from him!
He may pursue them with words,
but they are not there.
8
The one who acquires good sense loves himself;
one who safeguards understanding finds success.
9
A false witness will not go unpunished,
and one who utters lies perishes.
10
Luxury is not appropriate for a fool—
how much less for a slave to rule over princes!
11
A person’s insight gives him patience,
and his virtue is to overlook an offense.
12
A king’s rage is like the roaring of a lion,
but his favor is like dew on the grass.

they earn respect by overlooking wrongs.

but his favor is like dew on the grass.
