Proverbs 19:23

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.

25 Strike a scoffer, and the simple ^awill become wary;
^bRebuke one who has understanding, and he will discern knowledge.
