Proverbs 13:25

ContentmentJustice

23 Abundant food is in the fallow ground of the poor, but without justice it is swept away.

24 He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines him diligently.

A righteous man eats to his heart’s content, but the stomach of the wicked is empty.
