Proverbs 19

Gen Z: Proverbs 19

1Better to be broke but real than to be fake with the words and act like a total fool, fr.

2Not knowing stuff? That's sus; rushing into things just gets you in trouble, no cap.

3A dude's foolishness messes up his path, and his heart's all stressed about God, periodt.

4Cash brings a squad, but the broke guy? He’s got no homies nearby, savage.

5Lying on the stand? You’re gonna pay for that, and if you spit falsehoods, you ain't getting away.

6Everybody wants to vibe with the prince; if you’re giving gifts, you’re the real MVP.

7All the fam of the poor dude lowkey hates him; his friends ghost him too, even when he’s trying to chat.

8If you snag wisdom, you’re loving yourself; keeping it real with understanding? That’s the good stuff, fr.

9A fake witness? Yeah, that’s a hard pass; if you’re lying, you’re gonna be outta luck.

10Fools don't deserve the good times; even less should a servant boss around the big shots.

11A dude who knows when to chill with his anger is flexin'; it’s straight-up lit to let stuff slide.

12The king’s rage hits like a lion’s roar, but when he’s cool, it’s like dew on grass—pure vibes.

13A dumb son is a total bummer for his dad; and a wife who’s always nagging? That’s just a drip-drip-drip.

14Dads pass down houses and cash, but a wise wife? That’s a blessing straight from God, no cap.

15Being lazy puts you in a deep snooze; if you ain’t grinding, you’re gonna be starving, fr.

16If you follow the rules, you’re keeping your soul safe; but if you ignore them? That’s a one-way ticket to trouble.

17If you show love to the poor, you're lending to God; trust, He’ll pay you back, periodt.

18Discipline your kid while there’s still hope, and don’t hold back just ‘cause he’s crying—gotta do what you gotta do.

19A dude with mad anger is gonna face the consequences; if you bail him out, you’ll just be doing it again.

20Listen up and take notes, so you can be wise by the time you’re older, bet.

21People have all these plans, but for real, it's God's advice that actually sticks, no cap.

22A dude's vibe is his kindness; a broke guy is way better than a liar, fr.

23Respect for the Lord leads to life; if you got that, you chillin' and dodging bad vibes.

24A lazy dude keeps his hands tucked away and won't even bring food to his mouth, sus.

25Hit a hater, and the clueless will wake up; give advice to someone wise, and they'll get it, periodt.

26A dude who disrespects his dad and ghosts his mom is just straight-up shameful, savage.

27Chill, my dude, and stop listening to the stuff that leads you away from real knowledge.

28A shady witness laughs at judgment; wicked folks just gobble up the bad stuff, no cap.

29Scorners get served their judgments, and fools get the consequences, for real.

KJV: Proverbs 19

1Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.

2Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.

3The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the Lord.

4Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour.

5A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.

6Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.

7All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him.

8He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.

9A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.

10Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.

11The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.

12The king’s wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass.

13A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.

14House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the Lord.

15Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

16He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die.

17He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.

18Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.

19A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again.

20Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.

21There are many devices in a man’s heart; nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand.

22The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.

23The fear of the Lord tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.

24A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

25Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.

26He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.

27Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.

28An ungodly witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity.

29Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.
