Proverbs 19:22-24

New American Standard Bible 1995

²² What is desirable in a man is his ^[a]kindness,
And it is better to be a poor man than a liar.
²³ The ^[b](A)fear of the Lord leads to life,
So that one may sleep ^(B)satisfied, ^[c](C)untouched by evil.
²⁴ The ^(D)sluggard buries his hand ^(E)in the dish,
But will not even bring it back to his mouth.
