Proverbs 19:1-3

New King James Version

19 Better ^(A)is the poor who walks in his integrity
Than one who is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.

²Also it is not good for a soul to be without knowledge,
And he sins who hastens with his feet.

³The foolishness of a man twists his way,
And his heart frets against the Lord.

Proverbs 19:1-3

New International Version

19 Better the poor whose walk is blameless
than a fool whose lips are perverse.^(A)

²Desire without knowledge is not good—
how much more will hasty feet miss the way!^(B)

³A person’s own folly^(C) leads to their ruin,
yet their heart rages against the Lord.^(D)
