Chapter 19 of Proverbs.

Proverbs, Chapter 19 in purple

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

Also it is not good for a soul to be without knowledge, and he sins who hastens with his feet. ("Haste makes waste.")

The foolishness of a man twists his way and his heart frets against the LORD.

Wealth makes many friends, but the poor is separated from his friend. (Win the lottery and you will have friends galore! But be poor with nothing monetary to give, see how many hand around.)

A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who speaks lies will not escape. (You will be found out. Honesty is the best policy.)

Many entreat the favor of nobility, and every man is a friend to one who gives gifts.  All the brothers of the poor hate him; how much more do his friends go gar from him. He may pursue them with words, yet they abandon him. (When the going gets tough, the tough get going.)

He who gets wisdom loves his own soul; he who keeps understanding will find good.

A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who speaks lies will perish. (There it is again. Just tell the dang truth!)

Luxury is not fitting for a fool, much less for a servant to rule over princes.

The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger, and his glory is to overlook a transgression. (Pick your battles.)

The king's wrath is like the roaring of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass. (Nobody likes being yelled out, especially yelled out in anger. Complimentary words and praises do a lot of good.)

A foolish son is the ruin of his father, and the contentions of a wife are a continual dripping.

Laziness casts one into a deep sleep, and an idle person will suffer hunger. (Work hard!)

He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul, but he who is careless of his ways will die.

He who has pity on the poor lends to the LORD, and He will back what he has given.

Chasten your son while there is hope, and do not set your heart on his destruction. (Teach them young.)

A man of great wrath will suffer from punishment; for if you rescue him, you will have to do it again. (Sometimes people are so stubborn that you have to let them learn on their own.)

There are many plans in a man's heart, nevertheless, the LORD's counsel that will stand. (Follow God's way. He wins in the end!)

What is desired in a man is kindness, and a poor man is better than a liar. (That's plainly spoken.)

The fear of the LORD leads to life, and he who has it will abide in satisfaction. (Only God can satisfy what you soul is searching for.)

A lazy man buries his hand in the bowl, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again. (This makes me laugh! I picture a grown man being fed by his mommy. Lazy people want to be spoon-fed all their lives.)

Strike a scoffer, and the simple will become weary; rebuke one who has understanding, and he will discern knowledge.

He who mistreats his father and chases away his mother is a son who causes shame and brings reproach. (Try your best to make your parents proud. Don't embarrass them with your poor choices.)

Cease listening to instruction, my son, and you will stray from the words of knowledge. (Keep learning. Listen to the wise.)

A disreputable witness scorns justice, and the mouth of the wicked devours iniquity.

Judgments are prepared for the scoffers, and beatings for the backs of fools.
