Proverbs 19:14

Integrity, Counsel, Discipline, Poverty, Anger, and the Fear of the LORD

The chapter moves from integrity and misdirected zeal, to wealth and false witness, to wisdom and household prudence, to laziness, commandments, mercy, and discipline, and finally to the LORD's prevailing purpose, fear of the LORD, sloth, instruction, corrupt witness, and judgment.
