Proverbs 19

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

טֹוב־רָשׁ הֹולֵךְ בְּתֻמֹּו מֵעִקֵּשׁ פָתָיו וְהוּא כְסִיל׃ (2170)

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

גַּם בְּלֹא־דַעַת נֶפֶשׁ לֹא־טֹוב וְאָץ בְּרַגְלַיִם חֹוטֵא׃ (1434)

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

אִוֶּלֶת אָדָם תְּסַלֵּף דַּרְכֹּו וְעַל־יְהוָה יִזְעַף לִבֹּו׃ (1619)

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

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

רַבִּים יְחַלּוּ פְנֵי־נָדִיב וְכָל־הָרֵעַ לְאִישׁ מַתָּן׃ (1674)

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.

כָּל אֲחֵי־רָשׁ ׀ שְׂנֵאֻהוּ אַף כִּי מְרֵעֵהוּ רָחֲקוּ מִמֶּנּוּ מְרַדֵּף אֲמָרִים [לֹא־ כ] (לֹו־הֵמָּה׃ ק) (2665)
