Proverbs 19

melior est pauper qui ambulat in simplicitate sua quam torquens labia insipiens

Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.

ubi non est scientia animae non est bonum et qui festinus est pedibus offendit

Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.

stultitia hominis subplantat gressus eius et contra Deum fervet animo suo

The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the LORD.

divitiae addunt amicos plurimos a paupere autem et hii quos habuit separantur

Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour.

testis falsus non erit inpunitus et qui mendacia loquitur non effugiet

A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.

multi colunt personam potentis et amici sunt dona tribuenti

Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.

fratres hominis pauperis oderunt eum insuper et amici procul recesserunt ab eo qui tantum verba sectatur nihil habebit

All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him.

qui autem possessor est mentis diligit animam suam et custos prudentiae inveniet bona

He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.

testis falsus non erit inpunitus et qui loquitur mendacia peribit

A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.

non decent stultum deliciae nec servum dominari principibus

Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.

doctrina viri per patientiam noscitur et gloria eius est iniqua praetergredi

The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.

sicut fremitus leonis ita et regis ira et sicut ros super herbam ita hilaritas eius

The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass.

dolor patris filius stultus et tecta iugiter perstillantia litigiosa mulier

A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.

domus et divitiae dantur a patribus a Domino autem proprie uxor prudens

House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD.

pigredo inmittit soporem et anima dissoluta esuriet

Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

qui custodit mandatum custodit animam suam qui autem neglegit vias suas mortificabitur

He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die.

feneratur Domino qui miseretur pauperis et vicissitudinem suam reddet ei

He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.

erudi filium tuum ne desperes ad interfectionem autem eius ne ponas animam tuam

Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.

qui inpatiens est sustinebit damnum et cum rapuerit aliud adponet

A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again.

audi consilium et suscipe disciplinam ut sis sapiens in novissimis tuis

Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.

multae cogitationes in corde viri voluntas autem Domini permanebit

There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.

homo indigens misericors est et melior pauper quam vir mendax

The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.

timor Domini ad vitam et in plenitudine commorabitur absque visitatione pessimi

The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.

abscondit piger manum suam sub ascella nec ad os suum adplicat eam

A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

pestilente flagellato stultus sapientior erit sin autem corripueris sapientem intelleget disciplinam

Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.

qui adfligit patrem et fugat matrem ignominiosus est et infelix

He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.

non cesses fili audire doctrinam nec ignores sermones scientiae

Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.

testis iniquus deridet iudicium et os impiorum devorat iniquitatem

An ungodly witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity.

parata sunt derisoribus iudicia et mallei percutientes stultorum corporibus

Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.
