Pr.19.1
19:1 It is better to be . . . honest, though poor, because wealth gained by dishonest means is short-lived (10:2) and will not preserve one from harm (11:4; see also 15:16-17; 16:8, 16; 17:1; 22:1; 28:6).

19:1 It is better to be . . . honest, though poor, because wealth gained by dishonest means is short-lived (10:2) and will not preserve one from harm (11:4; see also 15:16-17; 16:8, 16; 17:1; 22:1; 28:6).
19:12 A lion’s roar is a frightening prelude to life-threatening violence (cp. 20:2). Dew on the grass is soothing and contributes to growth (see 16:14-15).
19:13-14 No choice for a son is more important than a good wife (cp. 31:10-31); a poor choice brings agony (see 10:1; 11:22; 12:4; 21:9, 19; 25:24; 27:15-17). The wise man will look to the Lord to give an understanding wife.
19:16 Keeping God’s commandments (i.e., the law of Moses) protects one’s life (see Deut 28:15-68).
