Proverbs 19:20-25

²⁰Listen to counsel and receive instruction, that you may be wise in your latter end.

²¹There are many plans in a man’s heart, but Yahweh’s counsel will prevail.

²²That which makes a man to be desired is his kindness. A poor man is better than a liar.

²³The fear of Yahweh leads to life, then contentment; he rests and will not be touched by trouble.

²⁴The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

²⁵Flog a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; rebuke one who has understanding, and he will gain knowledge.
