Proverbs 19:22-24

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²²What is desirable in a person is loyalty,
    and it is better to be poor than a liar.
²³The fear of the Lord is life indeed;
    filled with it one rests secure
    and suffers no harm.^(A)
²⁴The lazy person buries a hand in the dish
    and will not even bring it back to the mouth.^(B)
