Proverbs 19:3 Context
1Better is the poore that walketh in his integrity, then he that is peruerse in his lippes, and is a foole. 2Also, that the soule be without knowledge, it is not good, and hee that hasteth with his feete, sinneth. 3The foolishnesse of man peruerteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the Lord. 4Wealth maketh many friends: but the poore is separated from his neighbour. 5A false witnesse shall not be vnpunished: and he that speaketh lyes, shal not escape.
