Proverbs 19:22-24

EasyEnglish Bible

²² We all want other people to show faithful love.
    It is better to be poor than to deceive other people.
²³ If you respect and obey the Lord,
    you will enjoy life.
You will have peace in your mind
    and no trouble will destroy you.
²⁴ A lazy person pushes his hand into his bowl of food.
    But then he is too lazy to lift his hand up to his mouth.
