Proverbs 19:22-24

Jubilee Bible 2000

²²¶ Contentment is unto men to show mercy, but it is better to do it unto the poor than to the liar.

²³¶ The fear of the LORD is unto life, and he that has it shall live satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.

²⁴¶ The slothful man hides his hand in his bosom and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

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)
