Proverbs 19:22-24

Modern English Version

²² The desire of a man is his kindness,
    and a poor man is better than a liar.

²³ The fear of the Lord tends to life,
    and he who has it will abide satisfied; he will not be visited with evil.

²⁴ A slothful man hides his hand in his bowl,
    and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
