Proverbs 19:23-29

²³The fear of the Lord gives life: and he who has it will have need of nothing; no evil will come his way.

²⁴The hater of work puts his hand deep into the basin, and will not even take it to his mouth again.

²⁵When blows overtake the man of pride, the simple will get sense; say sharp words to the wise, and knowledge will be made clear to him.

²⁶He who is violent to his father, driving away his mother, is a son causing shame and a bad name.

²⁷A son who no longer gives attention to teaching is turned away from the words of knowledge.

²⁸A good-for-nothing witness makes sport of the judge's decision: and the mouth of evil-doers sends out evil like a stream.

²⁹Rods are being made ready for the man of pride, and blows for the back of the foolish.
