Proverbs 19:23-25

International Standard Version

²³ The fear of the Lord leads^[a] to life;
    whoever is satisfied with it will rest,
        untouched by evil.

²⁴ The lazy person buries his hand in his dish
    and doesn’t bother to bring it back to his mouth.

²⁵ If you scourge a scoffer,
    the simple person may learn to be discreet;
rebuke a discerning man
    and he will gain understanding.
