Proverbs 19 Expanded Bible (EXB)19 It is better to be poor and ·honest [L walking in innocence] 2 ·Enthusiasm [Desire; Zeal; Passion] without knowledge is not good. 3 People’s own foolishness ·ruins their lives [L frustrates their path], 4 Wealthy people are always finding more friends, 5 A witness who lies will not go ·free [unpunished]; 6 Many people ·want to please [L seek the face of] a leader, 7 Poor people’s relatives ·avoid [L hate] them; 8 Those who ·get wisdom [L acquire heart] ·do themselves a favor [L love themselves], 9 A witness who lies will not go ·free [unpunished], 10 A fool should not live in luxury. 11 The ·wise [insightful] ·are patient [L hold in their anger]; 12 An angry king is like a ·roaring [growling] lion, 13 A foolish ·child [son] ·brings [is a] disaster to a father, 14 Houses and wealth are inherited from parents, 15 Lazy people ·sleep a lot [L fall into a deep sleep], 16 Those who ·obey [guard] the commands ·protect [guard] themselves, 17 Being ·kind [gracious; generous] to the poor is like lending to the Lord; 18 ·Correct [Discipline] your children while there is still hope; 19 People with quick tempers will have to pay for it. 20 Listen to advice and accept correction, 21 People can make all kinds of plans, 22 People ·want [desire] others to be loyal, 23 Those who ·respect [fear] the Lord will live 24 Though the lazy person ·puts [L buries] his hand in the dish, 25 ·Whip those who make fun of wisdom [L Hit/Strike a mocker], and perhaps ·foolish [naive; immature; simpleminded] people will gain some ·wisdom [prudence]. 26 A child who ·robs [devastates] his father and ·sends [drives] away his mother 27 Don’t stop listening to correction, my child, 28 An ·evil [worthless] witness ·makes fun of fairness [mocks justice], 29 ·People who make fun of wisdom will be punished [L Punishments were made for mockers],
