Proverbs 19:1

Verse 1 of 29. The 19th of 31 chapters in Proverbs, in Poetry and Wisdom.

1Better is the poor who walks in his integrity than he who is perverse in his lips and is a fool.

2It isn’t good to have zeal without knowledge, nor to be hasty with one’s feet and miss the way.

3The foolishness of man subverts his way; his heart rages against the LORD.

4Wealth adds many friends, but the poor is separated from his friend.

5A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who pours out lies shall not go free.
