Proverbs 19:23-25

Modern English Version

²³ The fear of the Lord tends to life,
    and he who has it will abide satisfied; he will not be visited with evil.

²⁴ A slothful man hides his hand in his bowl,
    and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

²⁵ Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware;
    and reprove one who has understanding, and he will understand knowledge.
