Proverbs 19:21-29

21 One can devise many plans in one's mind, but ADONAI's plan will prevail.
22 A man's lust is his shame, and a poor man is better than a liar.
23 The fear of ADONAI leads to life; one who has it is satisfied and rests untouched by evil.
24 The lazy person buries his hand in the dish but doesn't even bother to bring it to his mouth.
25 If you strike a scorner, the simple will learn to act wisely; if you reprove the intelligent, he will understand what you mean.
26 One who mistreats his father and evicts his mother is a son who brings them shame and disgrace.
27 My son, if you stop heeding discipline, you will stray from the principles of knowledge.
28 A worthless witness mocks at justice, and the mouth of the wicked swallows wrongdoing.
29 Judgments are in store for scorners and blows for the backs of fools.
