Proverbs 19:21-25

²¹There are many devices in a man’s heart; But the counsel of Jehovah, that shall stand.

²²That which maketh a man to be desired is his kindness; And a poor man is better than a liar.

²³The fear of Jehovah tendeth to life; And he that hath it shall abide satisfied; He shall not be visited with evil.

²⁴The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish, And will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

²⁵Smite a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; And reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.
