Proverbs 19:23-25

International Children’s Bible

²³ Those who respect the Lord will live
    and be content, unbothered by trouble.

²⁴ The lazy person may put his hand in the dish,
    but he won’t lift the food to his mouth!

²⁵ Whip a person who makes fun of wisdom, and then foolish people will learn how to think.
    Just correct a smart man, and he will gain knowledge.
