Proverbs 19:22-26

²²People want others to be loyal to them; it is better to be poor than to tell a lie to a judge in court in order to get money.

²³Those who have an awesome respect for Yahweh will live a long life; they rest peacefully and are not harmed during the night.

²⁴Some people are extremely lazy; they put their hand in a dish to take some food but do not even lift the food up to their mouths.

²⁵If you punish someone who makes fun of those who are wise, those who ◄are naive/need to be instructed► will learn to do what is smart; if you rebuke those who are wise, they will listen to what you say and become wiser.

²⁶Anyone who mistreats/abuses his father or forces his mother to leave the home is a child who is acting shamefully and disgracefully.
