Proverbs 19:1-29 NIV
1Better the poor whose walk is blameless
than a
fool whose lips are perverse.
2Desire without knowledge is not good—
how
much more will hasty feet miss the way!
3A person’s own folly leads to their ruin,
yet
their heart rages against The Lord.
4Wealth attracts many friends,
but
even the closest friend of the poor person deserts them.
5A false witness will not go unpunished,
and
whoever pours out lies will not go free.
6Many curry favor with a ruler,
and
everyone is the friend of one who gives gifts.
7The
poor are shunned by all their relatives—
how much more do their friends avoid them!
Though the poor pursue them with pleading,
they are nowhere to be found.
8The one who gets wisdom loves life;
the one
who cherishes understanding will soon prosper.
9A false witness will not go unpunished,
and
whoever pours out lies will perish.
10It is not fitting for a fool to live in luxury—
how
much worse for a slave to rule over princes!
11A person’s wisdom yields patience;
it is
to one’s glory to overlook an offense.
but
His Favor Is like dew on the grass.
13A foolish child is a father’s ruin,
and a
quarrelsome wife is like
the
constant dripping of a leaky roof.
but a
prudent wife is from The LORD.
15Laziness brings on deep sleep,
and the
shiftless go hungry.
16Whoever keeps commandments keeps their life,
but
whoever shows contempt for their ways will die.
and HE Will Reward them for what they have done.
18Discipline your children, for in that there is hope;
do not
be a willing party to their death.
19A hot-tempered person must pay the penalty;
rescue
them, and you will have to do it again.
20Listen to advice and accept discipline,
and at
the end you will be counted among the wise.
but It Is The LORD'S Purpose That Prevails.
better
to be poor than a liar.
then
one rests content, untouched by trouble.
24A sluggard buries his hand in the dish;
he will
not even bring it back to his mouth!
25Flog a mocker, and the simple will learn prudence;
rebuke
the discerning, and they will gain knowledge.
26Whoever robs their father and drives out their mother
is a
child who brings shame and disgrace.
27Stop listening to instruction, my son,
and you
will stray from the words of knowledge.
28A corrupt witness mocks at justice,
and the
mouth of the wicked gulps down evil.
29Penalties are prepared for mockers,
and
beatings for the backs of fools.
Verse 12
A
KING'S Rage Is like the roar of a lion,
but HIS Favor Is like dew
on the grass
It
may
be applied to JESUS CHRIST, the Lion of the tribe of Judah; WHO Is Said
To Cry With a loud voice, as when a lion roars; and Whose Wrath Is
Terrible To
wicked men, and even to the kings of the earth.
“Then one of
the elders said to me, "Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah,
the Root of David, Has Triumphed. HE Is Able To Open the scroll and its seven
seals.”
But HIS Favor Is As Dew upon the grass; which refreshes and revives it, and causes it to grow and
flourish: and so the Favor and Goodwill of The MESSIAH KING to HIS subjects
delights them, and causes joy and cheerfulness in them; and such an effect has
the Love of GOD and CHRIST on the children of men.
“I Will Be Like the Dew to Israel; HE Will Blossom Like the lily, And HE Will Take Root Like the cedars of Lebanon. HIS Shoots Will Sprout, And HIS Beauty Will Be Like the olive tree And HIS Fragrance Like the
cedars of Lebanon.”
Come JESUS, The Lion of the tribe of Judah!
