Proverbs 19:21-23
World English Bible

21 There are many plans in a man’s heart,
    but Yahweh’s counsel will prevail.
22 That which makes a man to be desired is his kindness.
    A poor man is better than a liar.
23 The fear of Yahweh leads to life, then contentment;
    he rests and will not be touched by trouble.
