Proverbs 19:1

Proverbs 19:1 The Message (MSG)

Better to be poor and honest than a rich person no one can trust.

Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, Than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.

Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity Than he who is perverse in speech and is a fool.

It is better to be poor and honest than to be foolish and tell lies.

Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity Than he that is perverse in his lips and is a fool.

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

Better is the poor who walks in his integrity Than one who is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.

Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity Than a [rich] man who is twisted in his speech and is a [shortsighted] fool.

Better to be poor and honest than to be dishonest and a fool.

It’s better to be honest, even if it leads to poverty, than to live as a dishonest fool.

Better is a poor person who walks in his integrity than one who is crooked in speech and is a fool.
