19:1 Better is the poor man, that walketh in his simplicity, than a rich man that is perverse in his lips and unwise.
Melior est pauper qui ambulat in simplicitate sua quam dives torquens labia sua, et insipiens.

19:2 Where there is no knowledge of the soul, there is no good: and he that is hasty with his feet shall stumble.
Ubi non est scientia animæ, non est bonum, et qui festinus est pedibus offendet.

19:3 The folly of a man supplanteth his steps: and he fretteth in his mind against God.
Stultitia hominis supplantat gressus ejus, et contra Deum fervet animo suo.

19:4 Riches make many friends: but from the poor man, even they whom he had, depart.
Divitiæ addunt amicos plurimos; a paupere autem et hi quos habuit separantur.

19:5 A false witness shall not be unpunished: and he that speaketh lies, shall not escape.
Testis falsus non erit impunitus, et qui mendacia loquitur non effugiet.

19:6 Many honour the person of him that is mighty, and are friends of him that giveth gifts.
Multi colunt personam potentis, et amici sunt dona tribuentis.

19:7 The brethren of the poor man hate him: moreover also his friends have departed far from him. He that followeth after words only, shall have nothing.
Fratres hominis pauperis oderunt eum; insuper et amici procul recesserunt ab eo. Qui tantum verba sectatur nihil habebit;

19:8 But he that possesseth a mind, loveth his own soul, and he that keepeth prudence, shall find good things.
qui autem possessor est mentis diligit animam suam, et custos prudentiæ inveniet bona.

19:9 A false witness shall not be unpunished: and he that speaketh lies, shall perish.
Falsus testis non erit impunitus, et qui loquitur mendacia peribit.

19:10 Delicacies are not seemly for a fool: nor for a servant to have rule over princes.
Non decent stultum deliciæ, nec servum dominari principibus.

19:11 The learning of a man is known by patience: and his glory is to pass over wrongs.
Doctrina viri per patientiam noscitur, et gloria ejus est iniqua prætergredi.

19:12 As the roaring of a lion, so also is the anger of a king: and his cheerfulness as the dew upon the grass.
Sicut fremitus leonis, ita et regis ira, et sicut ros super herbam, ita et hilaritas ejus.

19:13 A foolish son is the grief of his father: and a wrangling wife is like a roof continually dropping through.
Dolor patris filius stultus, et tecta jugiter perstillantia litigiosa mulier.

19:14 House and riches are given by parents: but a prudent wife is properly from the Lord.
Domus et divitiæ dantur a parentibus; a Domino autem proprie uxor prudens.

19:15 Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep, and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
Pigredo immittit soporem, et anima dissoluta esuriet.

19:16 He that keepeth the commandment, keepeth his own soul: but he that neglecteth his own way, shall die.
Qui custodit mandatum custodit animam suam; qui autem negligit viam suam mortificabitur.

19:17 He that hath mercy on the poor, lendeth to the Lord: and he will repay him.
Fœneratur Domino qui miseretur pauperis, et vicissitudinem suam reddet ei.

19:18 Chastise thy son, despair not: but to the killing of him set not thy soul.
Erudi filium tuum; ne desperes: ad interfectionem autem ejus ne ponas animam tuam.

19:19 He that is impatient, shall suffer damage: and when he shall take away, he shall add another thing.
Qui impatiens est sustinebit damnum, et cum rapuerit, aliud apponet.

19:20 Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayst be wise in thy latter end.
Audi consilium, et suscipe disciplinam, ut sis sapiens in novissimis tuis.

19:21 There are many thoughts in the heart of a man: but the will of the Lord shall stand firm.
Multæ cogitationes in corde viri; voluntas autem Domini permanebit.

19:22 A needy man is merciful: and better is the poor than the lying man.
Homo indigens misericors est, et melior est pauper quam vir mendax.

19:23 The fear of the Lord is unto life: and he shall abide in fulness without being visited with evil.
Timor Domini ad vitam, et in plenitudine commorabitur absque visitatione pessima.

19:24 The slothful hideth his hand under his arm-pit, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth.
Abscondit piger manum suam sub ascella, nec ad os suum applicat eam.

19:25 The wicked man being scourged, the fool shall be wiser: but if thou rebuke a wise man, he will understand discipline.
Pestilente flagellato stultus sapientior erit; si autem corripueris sapientem, intelliget disciplinam.

19:26 He that afflicteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is infamous and unhappy.
Qui affligit patrem, et fugat matrem, ignominiosus est et infelix.

19:27 Cease not, O my son, to hear instruction, and be not ignorant of the words of knowledge.
Non cesses, fili, audire doctrinam, nec ignores sermones scientiæ.

19:28 An unjust witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity.
Testis iniquus deridet judicium, et os impiorum devorat iniquitatem.

19:29 Judgments are prepared for scorners: and striking hammers for the bodies of fools.
Parata sunt derisoribus judicia, et mallei percutientes stultorum corporibus.
