PROVERBS 19:23-27

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 to his mouth again.

²⁵smite a scorner, and the simple will learn prudence: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.

²⁶He that spoileth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth shame and bringeth reproach.

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