Proverbs 19:22-24

Evangelical Heritage Version

²² A desirable trait in a person is loyalty.^[a]
It is better to be poor than a liar.
²³ The fear of the Lord leads to life.
One who has it rests content.
He will not be disturbed by trouble.
²⁴ A lazy person buries his hand in the dish,
but he does not even bring the food up to his mouth.
