Proverbs 19:22-24

International Children’s Bible

²²People want others to be loyal.
So it is better to be poor than to be a liar.

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

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

Proverbs 19:22-24

New International Version

²²What a person desires is unfailing love^[a];
better to be poor than a liar.

²³The fear of the Lord leads to life;
then one rests content, untouched by trouble.^(A)

²⁴A sluggard buries his hand in the dish;
he will not even bring it back to his mouth!^(B)
