Proverbs 19:1


← Proverbs 18:24 Proverbs 19:1 (KJV) Proverbs 19:2 →
A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.
Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.
