Proverbs 19:1-4 New International Version (NIV)

1. Better the poor whose walk is blameless than a fool whose lips are perverse.

2. Desire without knowledge is not good— how much more will hasty feet miss the way!

3. A person’s own folly leads to their ruin, yet their heart rages against the Lord.

4. Wealth attracts many friends, but even the closest friend of the poor person deserts them.
