Proverbs 19:1-3
Tree of Life Version

Better to be Poor with Integrity

19 Better to be poor, walking with integrity,
than be a fool whose lips are corrupt.
2 Zeal without knowledge is not good,[a]
or to act hastily and miss the way.
3 A man’s folly undermines his way,
and his heart rages against Adonai.
