Proverbs 19:23

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

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

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

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

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