Proverbs 19:22-24
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
22 What is desirable in a person is loyalty,
and it is better to be poor than a liar.
23 The fear of the Lord is life indeed;
filled with it one rests secure
and suffers no harm.(A)
24 The lazy person buries a hand in the dish
and will not even bring it back to the mouth.(B)
