19.5 :And he that breatheth forth lies shall not escape.


 * Many will entreat the favour of the liberal man;
 * And every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.


 * All the brethren of the poor do hate him;
 * How much more do his friends go far from him!
 * He that pursueth words, they turn against him.


 * He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul;
 * He that keepeth understanding shall find good.


 * A false witness shall not be unpunished;
 * And he that breatheth forth lies shall perish.


 * Luxury is not seemly for a fool;
 * Much less for a servant to have rule over princes.


 * It is the discretion of a man to be slow to anger,
 * And it is his glory to pass over a transgression.


 * The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion;
 * But his favour is as dew upon the grass.


 * A foolish son is the calamity of his father;
 * And the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.


 * House and riches are the inheritance of fathers;
 * But a prudent wife is from the.


 * Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep;
 * And the idle soul shall suffer hunger.


 * He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his soul;
 * But he that despiseth His ways shall die.


 * He that is gracious unto the poor lendeth unto the ;
 * And his good deed will He repay unto him.


 * Chasten thy son, for there is hope;
 * But set not thy heart on his destruction.

A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment;
 * For if thou interpose, thou wilt add thereto.


 * Hear counsel, and receive instruction,
 * That thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.


 * There are many devices in a man's heart;
 * But the counsel of the, that shall stand.


 * The lust of a man is his shame;
 * And a poor man is better than a liar.


 * The fear of the tendeth to life;
 * And he that hath it shall abide satisfied,
 * He shall not be visited with evil.


 * The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish,
 * And will not so much as bring it back to his mouth.
