23 ^aMuch food is in the¹ fallow ground of the poor,
And for lack of justice there is¹ waste.

24 ^aHe who spares his rod hates his son,
But he who loves him disciplines him¹ promptly.

25 ^aThe righteous eats to the satisfying of his soul,
But the stomach of the wicked shall be in want.

Proverbs 13:25

To the satisfying of his soul - His desires are all moderate; he is contented with his circumstances, and is pleased with the lot which God is pleased to send. The wicked, though he use all shifts and expedients to acquire earthly good, not sticking even at rapine and wrong, is frequently in real want, and always dissatisfied with his portion. A contented mind is a continual feast. At such feasts he eats not.
