Nineteenth chapter, full of light,
Wisdom shining oh so bright!
It’s better to be poor and kind,
Than foolish and with riches bind.
A false witness will not escape,
Punishment will soon take shape.
Folly leads to ruin, woe,
But understanding helps you go.
Honor, love, and kindness too,
Bring long life and blessings true.
Discipline may seem like pain,
But it leads to gain, not vain.
Laziness brings poverty,
Diligence will set you free.
Listen to advice, be wise,
Heed rebuke, it’s no surprise.
The Lord’s ways are pure and right,
A faithful friend’s a shining light.
Anger’s quick to stir up strife,
Patience, peace, bring joy to life.
Nineteenth chapter, full of light,
Wisdom shining oh so bright!
Let these proverbs guide your way,
And live in righteousness each day.
