Proverbs 19:22

Proverbs 19:22

20 Listen to counsel and receive instruction,
That you may be wise ^ain your latter days.

21 There are many plans in a man’s heart,
^aNevertheless the Lord’s counsel—that will stand.

22 What is desired in a man is¹ kindness,
And a poor man is better than a liar.

23 ^aThe fear of the Lord leads to life,
And he who has it will abide in satisfaction;
He will not be visited with evil.

24 ^aA lazy man buries his hand in the¹ bowl,
And will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Proverbs 19:21

Proverbs 19:23 >>

The desire - The hearty desire of being kind is accepted by God, and should be owned by men as a real kindness. A poor man - Who is not able to give what he desires to do. A liar - Than a rich man who feeds the poor with fair promises, but doth not perform what he pretends.
