22 What is desired in a man is steadfast love, and a poor man is better than a liar.
23 The fear of the LORD 1leads to life, and whoever has it rests 2satisfied; he will 3not be visited by harm.
24 4The sluggard buries his hand in 5the dish and will not even bring it back to his mouth.
25 6Strike 7a scoffer, and the simple will 8learn prudence; 9reprove a man of understanding, and he will gain knowledge.
26 He who does violence to his father and chases away his mother is 10a son who brings shame and reproach.
27 Cease to hear instruction, my son, 11and you will stray from the words of knowledge.
28 A worthless witness mocks at justice, and the mouth of the wicked 12devours iniquity.
29 Condemnation is ready for 13scoffers, and 14beating for the backs of fools.
