Proverbs 19:21-29

²¹There are many devices in a man's heart; but the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.

²²The lust of a man is his shame; and a poor man is better than a liar.

²³The fear of the LORD 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 back to his mouth.

²⁵When thou smitest a scorner, the simple will become prudent; and when one that hath understanding is reproved, he will understand knowledge.

²⁶A son that dealeth shamefully and reproachfully will despoil his father, and chase away his mother.

²⁷Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.

²⁸An ungodly witness mocketh at right; and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity.

²⁹Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.
