Provérbios 19— comparação

1Melhor é o pobre que anda na sua integridade

2Não é bom ter zelo sem conhecimento,

3A insensatez do homem subverte o seu caminho;

4A riqueza multiplica os amigos,

5A testemunha falsa não ficará impune.

6Muitos buscam o favor do governante,

7Todos os parentes do pobre o desprezam;

8Quem adquire sabedoria ama a sua própria alma.

9A testemunha falsa não ficará impune.

10Uma vida de luxo não convém ao tolo,

11A prudência do homem o faz lento para a ira.

12A ira do rei é como o rugido de um leão,

13O filho tolo é a ruína de seu pai.

14Casa e riquezas são herança dos pais,

15A preguiça faz cair em sono profundo.

16Aquele que guarda o mandamento guarda a sua vida,

17Quem se compadece do pobre empresta ao SENHOR;

18Discipline o seu filho enquanto há esperança;

19O homem de grande ira sofrerá o castigo,

20Ouça os conselhos e aceite a instrução,

21Há muitos planos no coração do homem,

22O que torna um homem desejável é a sua bondade.

23O temor do SENHOR conduz à vida, e à satisfação;

24O preguiçoso esconde a mão no prato;

25Açoite o zombador, e os simples aprenderão a prudência;

26Aquele que rouba o seu pai e expulsa a sua mãe

27Meu filho, se você parar de ouvir a instrução,

28A testemunha corrupta zomba da justiça,

29Os castigos estão preparados para os zombadores,

1Better is the poor who walks in his integrity than he who is perverse in his lips and is a fool.

2It isn’t good to have zeal without knowledge, nor to be hasty with one’s feet and miss the way.

3The foolishness of man subverts his way; his heart rages against Yahweh.

4Wealth adds many friends, but the poor is separated from his friend.

5A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who pours out lies shall not go free.

6Many will entreat the favor of a ruler, and everyone is a friend to a man who gives gifts.

7All the relatives of the poor shun him; how much more do his friends avoid him! He pursues them with pleas, but they are gone.

8He who gets wisdom loves his own soul. He who keeps understanding shall find good.

9A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who utters lies shall perish.

10Delicate living is not appropriate for a fool, much less for a servant to have rule over princes.

11The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger. It is his glory to overlook an offense.

12The king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.

13A foolish son is the calamity of his father. A wife’s quarrels are a continual dripping.

14House and riches are an inheritance from fathers, but a prudent wife is from Yahweh.

15Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep. The idle soul shall suffer hunger.

16He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul, but he who is contemptuous in his ways shall die.

17He who has pity on the poor lends to Yahweh; he will reward him.

18Discipline your son, for there is hope; don’t be a willing party to his death.

19A hot-tempered man must pay the penalty, for if you rescue him, you must do it again.

20Listen to counsel and receive instruction, that you may be wise in your latter end.

21There are many plans in a man’s heart, but Yahweh’s counsel will prevail.

22That which makes a man to be desired is his kindness. A poor man is better than a liar.

23The fear of Yahweh leads to life, then contentment; he rests and will not be touched by trouble.

24The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

25Flog a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; rebuke one who has understanding, and he will gain knowledge.

26He who robs his father and drives away his mother is a son who causes shame and brings reproach.

27If you stop listening to instruction, my son, you will stray from the words of knowledge.

28A corrupt witness mocks justice, and the mouth of the wicked gulps down iniquity.

29Penalties are prepared for scoffers, and beatings for the backs of fools.
