Proverbi 19
La Nuova Diodati
19 E' meglio un povero che cammina nella sua integrità di uno che è perverso di labbra ed è stolto.
2 Inoltre non è bene per un'anima essere senza conoscenza; chi va a passi frettolosi sbaglia strada.
3 La stoltezza dell'uomo rende la sua via sdrucciolevole e il suo cuore si irrita contro l'Eterno.
4 Le ricchezze procurano gran numero di amici, ma il povero è separato dal suo stesso amico.
5 Il falso testimone non resterà impunito, e chi proferisce menzogne non avrà scampo.
6 Molti implorano il favore del principe, e tutti sono amici di chi fa doni.
7 Tutti i fratelli del povero lo odiano tanto piú si allontanano da lui i suoi amici. Egli può andar loro dietro con parole, ma essi non si trovano piú.
8 Chi acquista senno ama la sua stessa vita e chi conserva la prudenza troverà il bene.
9 Il falso testimone non rimarrà impunito, e chi proferisce menzogne perirà.
10 Vivere in delizie non si addice allo stolto, ancor meno a un servo dominare sui principi.
11 Il senno di un uomo lo rende lento all'ira ed è sua gloria passar sopra le offese.
12 L'ira del re è come il ruggito di un leone, ma il suo favore è come rugiada sull'erba.
13 Un figlio stolto è una calamità per suo padre, e le risse della moglie sono come un gocciolare incessante.
14 Casa e ricchezze sono l'eredità dei padri, ma una moglie assennata viene dall'Eterno.
15 La pigrizia fa cadere in un profondo sonno e la persona indolente patirà la fame.
16 Chi osserva il comandamento custodisce la sua vita, ma chi trascura la propria condotta morirà.
17 Chi ha pietà del povero presta all'Eterno, che gli contraccambierà ciò che ha dato.
18 Castiga tuo figlio mentre c'è speranza, ma non lasciarti andare fino a farlo morire.
19 L'uomo grandemente irascibile deve subirne la punizione, perché risparmiandolo, lo diventerà ancora di piú.
20 Ascolta il consiglio e ricevi l'ammaestramento, affinché tu diventi saggio per il resto dei tuoi giorni.
21 Ci sono molti disegni nel cuore dell'uomo, ma solo il piano dell'Eterno rimarrà fermo.
22 Ciò che si desidera nell'uomo è la bontà, e un povero vale piú di un bugiardo.
23 Il timore dell'Eterno conduce alla vita; chi lo possiede dimorerà sazio e non sarà colpito da alcun male.
24 Il pigro affonda la sua mano nel piatto, ma non riesce neppure a portarla alla bocca.
25 Percuoti lo schernitore e il semplice diventerà accorto; riprendi chi ha intendimento e acquisterà conoscenza.
26 Chi usa violenza con suo padre e scaccia sua madre, è un figlio che fa vergogna e porta disonore.
27 Figlio mio, cessa di ascoltare l'ammaestramento, e ti allontanerai dalle parole di conoscenza.
28 Il testimone malvagio si burla della giustizia, e la bocca degli empi divora l'iniquità.
29 Le punizioni sono preparate per gli schernitori, e le percosse per il dorso degli stolti.

The Counsel of Yahweh Will Stand
19 (A)Better is a poor man who (B)walks in his integrity
Than he who is crooked in lips and is a fool.
2 Also it is not good for a person to be without knowledge,
And he who hurries [a](C)his footsteps sins.
3 The (D)folly of man subverts his way,
But his heart (E)rages against Yahweh.
4 (F)Wealth adds many friends,
But a poor man is separated from his friend.
5 A [b](G)false witness will not go unpunished,
And he who (H)breathes out lies will not escape.
6 (I)Many will seek the favor of a noble man,
And everyone is a friend to a man who (J)gives gifts.
7 All the brothers of a poor man hate him;
How much more do his (K)friends distance themselves from him!
He (L)pursues them with words, but they are no more.
8 He who acquires a heart of wisdom loves his own soul;
He who keeps discernment will (M)find good.
9 A [c](N)false witness will not go unpunished,
And he who breathes out lies will perish.
10 Luxury is (O)not fitting for a fool;
Much less for a (P)slave to rule over princes.
11 A man’s (Q)insight makes him slow to anger,
And it is his honor (R)to overlook a transgression.
12 The (S)king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion,
But his favor is like (T)dew on the grass.
13 A (U)foolish son is destruction to his father,
And the (V)contentions of a wife are a constant dripping.
14 House and wealth are an (W)inheritance from fathers,
But a wife who has insight is from Yahweh.
15 (X)Laziness casts into a deep sleep,
And a slack-handed soul will suffer hunger.
16 He who (Y)keeps the commandment keeps his soul,
But he who despises his way will die.
17 He who (Z)is gracious to a poor man lends to Yahweh,
And He will repay him for his (AA)bountiful deed.
18 (AB)Discipline your son while there is hope,
And do not [d]direct your soul to put him to death.
19 A man of great wrath will bear the penalty,
For if you deliver him, you will only have to do it again.
20 (AC)Listen to counsel and receive discipline,
That you may be wise in [e]the end of your days.
21 Many [f](AD)thoughts are in a man’s heart,
But it is the (AE)counsel of Yahweh that will stand.
22 What is desirable in a man is his lovingkindness,
And better is a poor man than a man of falsehood.
23 The [g](AF)fear of Yahweh leads to life,
So that one may sleep (AG)satisfied, not (AH)visited by evil.
24 The (AI)sluggard buries his hand (AJ)in the dish,
But will not even bring it back to his mouth.
25 (AK)Strike a scoffer and the simple may become prudent,
But (AL)reprove one who has understanding and he will understand knowledge.
26 He (AM)who assaults his father and causes his mother to flee
Is a son who brings shame and humiliation.
27 Cease listening, my son, to discipline,
And you will stray from the words of knowledge.
28 A vile witness scoffs at justice,
And the mouth of the wicked (AN)swallows up iniquity.
29 [h]Judgments are established for (AO)scoffers,
And (AP)beatings for the back of fools.

Proverbs 19
New International Version
19 Better the poor whose walk is blameless
than a fool whose lips are perverse.(A)
2 Desire without knowledge is not good—
how much more will hasty feet miss the way!(B)
4 Wealth attracts many friends,
but even the closest friend of the poor person deserts them.(E)
7 The poor are shunned by all their relatives—
how much more do their friends avoid them!(K)
Though the poor pursue them with pleading,
they are nowhere to be found.[a](L)
8 The one who gets wisdom loves life;
the one who cherishes understanding will soon prosper.(M)
9 A false witness will not go unpunished,
and whoever pours out lies will perish.(N)
10 It is not fitting for a fool(O) to live in luxury—
how much worse for a slave to rule over princes!(P)
11 A person’s wisdom yields patience;(Q)
it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense.
13 A foolish child is a father’s ruin,(U)
and a quarrelsome wife is like
the constant dripping of a leaky roof.(V)
15 Laziness brings on deep sleep,
and the shiftless go hungry.(Y)
16 Whoever keeps commandments keeps their life,
but whoever shows contempt for their ways will die.(Z)
17 Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord,(AA)
and he will reward them for what they have done.(AB)
18 Discipline your children, for in that there is hope;
do not be a willing party to their death.(AC)
19 A hot-tempered person must pay the penalty;
rescue them, and you will have to do it again.
20 Listen to advice and accept discipline,(AD)
and at the end you will be counted among the wise.(AE)
21 Many are the plans in a person’s heart,
but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.(AF)
22 What a person desires is unfailing love[b];
better to be poor than a liar.
23 The fear of the Lord leads to life;
then one rests content, untouched by trouble.(AG)
24 A sluggard buries his hand in the dish;
he will not even bring it back to his mouth!(AH)
25 Flog a mocker, and the simple will learn prudence;
rebuke the discerning,(AI) and they will gain knowledge.(AJ)
26 Whoever robs their father and drives out their mother(AK)
is a child who brings shame and disgrace.
27 Stop listening to instruction, my son,(AL)
and you will stray from the words of knowledge.
28 A corrupt witness mocks at justice,
and the mouth of the wicked gulps down evil.(AM)
29 Penalties are prepared for mockers,
and beatings for the backs of fools.(AN)
