Proverbs 19:1-5 English Standard Version (ESV)

1. Better is a poor person who walks in his integritythan one who is crooked in speech and is a fool.

2. Desire without knowledge is not good,and whoever makes haste with his feet misses his way.

3. When a man’s folly brings his way to ruin,his heart rages against the Lord.

4. Wealth brings many new friends, but a poor man is deserted by his friend.

5. A false witness will not go unpunished,and he who breathes out lies will not escape.
