Proverbs 19

Proverbs 19 is a collection of twenty-nine assorted wisdom sayings that emphasize the superiority of integrity and moral character over wealth, the dangers of foolishness and laziness, and the importance of self-control and heeding counsel.[1][4] Key themes include the value of discretion and restraint in anger, the consequences of ignoring instruction, the proper treatment of the poor as a loan to YHWH, and the ultimate sovereignty of YHWH's purposes over human plans.[2][3][4]
