Proverbs 19:21-26

1. 21 There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.

2. 22 The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.

3. 23 The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.

4. 24 A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

5. 25 Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.

6. 26 He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.
