Proverbs 19:1-7

English Standard Version

19 ^(A)Better is a poor person who ^(B)walks in his integrity
    than one who is crooked in speech and is a fool.
² Desire^[a] without knowledge is not good,
    and whoever ^(C)makes haste with his feet misses his way.
³ When a man's folly ^(D)brings his way to ruin,
    his heart ^(E)rages against the Lord.
^4 (F)Wealth brings many new friends,
    ^(G)but a poor man is deserted by his friend.
^5 (H)A false witness will not go unpunished,
    and he who ^(I)breathes out lies will not escape.
⁶ Many seek the favor of a generous man,^[b]
    and everyone is a friend to a man who gives ^(J)gifts.
^7 (K)All a poor man's brothers hate him;
    ^(L)how much more do his friends go far from him!
He pursues them with words, but does not have them.^[c]
