Proverbs 19:1-5

Tree of Life Version

19 Better to be poor, walking with integrity,
than be a fool whose lips are corrupt.
² Zeal without knowledge is not good,^[a]
or to act hastily and miss the way.
³ A man’s folly undermines his way,
and his heart rages against Adonai.
⁴ Wealth adds many friends,
yet a poor man is deserted by his friend.
⁵ A false witness will not go unpunished,
one who breathes lies will not escape.
