Proverbs 19:8-20 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

8. He who gets wisdom loves his own soul.He who keeps understanding shall find good.

9. A false witness shall not be unpunished.He who utters lies shall perish.

10. Delicate living is not appropriate for a fool,much less for a servant to have rule over princes.

11. The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger.It is his glory to overlook an offence.

12. The king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion,but his favour is like dew on the grass.

13. A foolish son is the calamity of his father.A wife’s quarrels are a continual dripping.

14. House and riches are an inheritance from fathers,but a prudent wife is from the Lord.

15. Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep.The idle soul shall suffer hunger.

16. He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul,but he who is contemptuous in his ways shall die.

17. He who has pity on the poor lends to the Lord;he will reward him.

18. Discipline your son, for there is hope;don’t be a willing party to his death.

19. A hot-tempered man must pay the penalty,for if you rescue him, you must do it again.

20. Listen to counsel and receive instruction,that you may be wise in your latter end.
