Proverbs 19:23-25

The Voice

²³ Reverence for the Eternal leads to a fulfilled life;
    those who have it will sleep well,
    for disaster will not touch them.
²⁴ Some people are so lazy—they reach for food on the plate
    but lack the will to bring it up to their mouths.
²⁵ If you beat one who mocks, the naive will see and learn a lesson;
    if you correct someone with understanding, that’s all he needs to grow a little wiser.
