Proverbs 19
New King James Version
The Fear of the Lord Leads to Life
19 Better (A)is the poor who walks in his integrity
Than one who is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.
2 Also it is not good for a soul to be without knowledge,
And he sins who hastens with his feet.
3 The foolishness of a man twists his way,
And his heart frets against the Lord.
4 (B)Wealth makes many friends,
But the poor is separated from his friend.
5 A (C)false witness will not go unpunished,
And he who speaks lies will not escape.
6 Many entreat the favor of the nobility,
And every man is a friend to one who gives gifts.
7 (D)All the brothers of the poor hate him;
How much more do his friends go (E)far from him!
He may pursue them with words, yet they [a]abandon him.
9 A false witness will not go unpunished,
And he who speaks lies shall perish.
10 Luxury is not fitting for a fool,
Much less (G)for a servant to rule over princes.
11 (H)The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger,
(I)And his glory is to overlook a transgression.
13 (L)A foolish son is the ruin of his father,
(M)And the contentions of a wife are a continual [c]dripping.
17 (S)He who has pity on the poor lends to the Lord,
And He will pay back what he has given.
19 A man of great wrath will suffer punishment;
For if you rescue him, you will have to do it again.
20 Listen to counsel and receive instruction,
That you may be wise (U)in your latter days.
21 There are many plans in a man’s heart,
(V)Nevertheless the Lord’s counsel—that will stand.
22 What is desired in a man is [f]kindness,
And a poor man is better than a liar.
23 (W)The fear of the Lord leads to life,
And he who has it will abide in satisfaction;
He will not be visited with evil.
24 (X)A lazy man buries his hand in the [g]bowl,
And will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
25 Strike a scoffer, and the simple (Y)will become wary;
(Z)Rebuke one who has understanding, and he will discern knowledge.
26 He who mistreats his father and chases away his mother
Is (AA)a son who causes shame and brings reproach.
27 Cease listening to instruction, my son,
And you will stray from the words of knowledge.
29 Judgments are prepared for scoffers,
(AC)And beatings for the backs of fools.

Мудрые изречения 19
Священное Писание (Восточный Перевод)
19 Лучше бедняк, чей путь беспорочен,
чем глупый с лукавой речью.
2 Нехорошо усердие без знания,
а тот, кто спешит, оступится.
3 Человек своей же глупостью губит себе жизнь,
а сердце его злится на Вечного.
4 Богатство приводит много друзей,
а бедняка и друг его оставляет.
5 Лживый свидетель не останется безнаказанным,
и лгун не уйдёт от расплаты.
6 Многие заискивают перед правителем,
и дающему подарки всякий – друг.
7 Бедняка ненавидят даже его родственники,
сколь же больше друзья его избегают!
Когда он зовёт их, нет их нигде.
8 Приобретающий мудрость любит душу свою;
хранящий разум преуспеет.
9 Лживый свидетель не останется безнаказанным,
и лгун погибнет.
10 Не годится глупцу жить в роскоши,
а тем более рабу править князьями.
11 Разум человека умеряет его гнев;
слава его – оставить оскорбление без внимания.
12 Царский гнев львиному рёву подобен,
а милость его, как роса на траве.
13 Глупый сын – гибель для отца,
а вздорная жена – несмолкающая капель.
14 Дома и богатство – наследство от родителей,
а разумная жена – от Вечного.
15 Леность наводит глубокий сон;
праздный будет ходить голодным.
16 Исполняющий повеление бережёт свою жизнь,
а не думающий о своих путях – погибнет.
17 Милосердный к бедным одалживает Вечному,
и Он наградит его за сделанное.
18 Наказывай сына, пока есть надежда;
не делайся виновным в его гибели.
19 Гневливый должен быть наказан;
если пожалеешь его, придётся наказывать его снова.
20 Послушай совета и прими наставление,
чтобы со временем обрести мудрость.
21 Много замыслов в сердце человека,
но исполнится только намерение Вечного.
22 В человеке желанна верность;[a]
лучше быть бедным, чем лгуном.
23 Страх перед Вечным ведёт к жизни:
исполненный им спит спокойно,
и зло его не коснётся.
24 Лентяй запускает руку в блюдо,
но ленится даже до рта донести.
25 Накажи глумливого, и образумятся простаки;
укори разумного, и он усвоит знание.
26 Обирающий отца и выгоняющий мать –
сын срамной и бесславный.
27 Прекратив слушать наставления, сын мой,
ты от слов познания уклонишься.
28 Негодный свидетель глумится над правосудием,
и уста нечестивого пожирают беззаконие.
29 Уготованы наказания глумливым
и побои – спинам глупцов.

Proverbs 19
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
19 Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity than a rich man who is perverse in his speech and is a [self-confident] fool.
2 Desire without knowledge is not good, and to be overhasty is to sin and miss the mark.
3 The foolishness of man subverts his way [ruins his affairs]; then his heart is resentful and frets against the Lord.
4 Wealth makes many friends, but the poor man is avoided by his neighbor.(A)
5 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he who breathes out lies shall not escape.(B)
6 Many will entreat the favor of a liberal man, and every man is a friend to him who gives gifts.
7 All the brothers of a poor man detest him—how much more do his friends go far from him! He pursues them with words, but they are gone.
8 He who gains Wisdom loves his own life; he who keeps understanding shall prosper and find good.
9 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he who breathes forth lies shall perish.
10 Luxury is not fitting for a [self-confident] fool—much less for a slave to rule over princes.
11 Good sense makes a man restrain his anger, and it is his glory to overlook a transgression or an offense.
12 The king’s wrath is as terrifying as the roaring of a lion, but his favor is as [refreshing as] dew upon the grass.(C)
13 A self-confident and foolish son is the [multiplied] calamity of his father, and the contentions of a wife are like a continual dripping [of water through a chink in the roof].
14 House and riches are the inheritance from fathers, but a wise, understanding, and prudent wife is from the Lord.(D)
15 Slothfulness casts one into a deep sleep, and the idle person shall suffer hunger.
16 He who keeps the commandment [of the Lord] keeps his own life, but he who despises His ways shall die.(E)
17 He who has pity on the poor lends to the Lord, and that which he has given He will repay to him.(F)
18 Discipline your son while there is hope, but do not [indulge your angry resentments by undue chastisements and] set yourself to his ruin.
19 A man of great wrath shall suffer the penalty; for if you deliver him [from the consequences], he will [feel free to] cause you to do it again.
20 Hear counsel, receive instruction, and accept correction, that you may be wise in the time to come.
21 Many plans are in a man’s mind, but it is the Lord’s purpose for him that will stand.(G)
22 That which is desired in a man is loyalty and kindness [and his glory and delight are his giving], but a poor man is better than a liar.
23 The reverent, worshipful fear of the Lord leads to life, and he who has it rests satisfied; he cannot be visited with [actual] evil.(H)
24 The sluggard buries his hand in the dish, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
25 Strike a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; reprove a man of understanding, and he will increase in knowledge.
26 He who does violence to his father and chases away his mother is a son who causes shame and brings reproach.
27 Cease, my son, to hear instruction only to ignore it and stray from the words of knowledge.
28 A worthless witness scoffs at justice, and the mouth of the wicked swallows iniquity.
29 Judgments are prepared for scoffers, and stripes for the backs of [self-confident] fools.(I)
