²³ The ^[a](A)fear of Yahweh leads to life,
So that one may sleep ^(B)satisfied, not ^(C)visited by evil.
²⁴ The ^(D)sluggard buries his hand ^(E)in the dish,
But will not even bring it back to his mouth.
^25 (F)Strike a scoffer and the simple may become prudent,
But ^(G)reprove one who has understanding and he will understand knowledge.
