Proverbs 19

KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 19 of 31

1 One being poor who walks in his integrity is better than a perverted one in his lips, and is a fool.

2 Also, without knowledge the soul is not good, and he hurrying with his feet sins.

3 The folly of man perverts his way, and his heart rages against Jehovah.

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