Better Is the Poor That Walketh in His Integrity — Proverbs 19:23–29

The fear of Jehovah tendeth to life; And he that hath it shall abide satisfied; He shall not be visited with evil.

The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish, And will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

Smite a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; And reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.

He that doeth violence to his father, and chaseth away his mother, Is a son that causeth shame and bringeth reproach.

Cease, my son, to hear instruction Only to err from the words of knowledge.

A worthless witness mocketh at justice; And the mouth of the wicked swalloweth iniquity.

Judgments are prepared for scoffers, And stripes for the back of fools.
