Proverbs 19:14-29

Proverbs 19:14-29

[14] House  and riches  are the inheritance  of fathers:  and a prudent  wife  is from the LORD.  [15] Slothfulness  casteth  into a deep sleep;  and an idle  soul  shall suffer hunger.  [16] He that keepeth  the commandment  keepeth  his own soul;  but he that despiseth  his ways  shall die.  [17] He that hath pity  upon the poor  lendeth  unto the LORD;  and that which he hath given  will he pay him again.  [18] Chasten  thy son  while there is  hope,  and let not thy soul  spare  for his crying.  [19] of great  shall suffer  punishment:  for if thou deliver  him, yet thou must do it again.  [20] Hear  counsel,  and receive  instruction,  that thou mayest be wise  in thy latter end.  [21] There are many  devices  in a man's  heart;  nevertheless the counsel  that shall stand.  [22] The desire  of a man  is his kindness:  and a poor man  is better  than  a liar.  [23] The fear  of the LORD  tendeth to life:  and he that hath it shall abide  satisfied;  he shall not be visited  with evil.  [24] A slothful  man hideth  his hand  in his bosom,  it to his mouth  again.  [25] Smite  a scorner,  and the simple  will beware:  and reprove  one that hath understanding,  knowledge.  [26] He that wasteth  his father,  and chaseth away  his mother,  is a son  that causeth shame,  and bringeth reproach.  [27] Cease,  my son,  to hear  the instruction  that causeth to err  from the words  of knowledge.  [28] An ungodly  witness  scorneth  judgment:  and the mouth  of the wicked  devoureth  iniquity.  [29] Judgments  are prepared  for scorners,  and stripes  for the back  of fools.
