Proverbs 19:21-23

Modern English Version

²¹ There are many plans in a man’s heart,
    nevertheless the counsel of the Lord will stand.

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

²³ The fear of the Lord tends to life,
    and he who has it will abide satisfied; he will not be visited with evil.
