Proverbs 19:23-25

Evangelical Heritage Version

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.
²⁵ Strike a scoffer, and an undisciplined^[a] person may learn caution.
Warn a person with understanding, and he will gain knowledge.
