Proverbs 19:20-25

²⁰Hear counsel and receive instruction, So that thou art wise in thy latter end.

²¹Many are the purposes in a man's heart, And the counsel of Jehovah it standeth.

²²The desirableness of a man is his kindness, And better is the poor than a liar.

²³The fear of Jehovah is to life, And satisfied he remaineth — he is not charged with evil.

²⁴The slothful hath hidden his hand in a dish, Even unto his mouth he bringeth it not back.

²⁵A scorner smite, and the simple acts prudently, And give reproof to the intelligent, He understandeth knowledge.
