Proverbs 19:22-24
Legacy Standard Bible
22 What is desirable in a man is his lovingkindness,
And better is a poor man than a man of falsehood.
23 The [a](A)fear of Yahweh leads to life,
So that one may sleep (B)satisfied, not (C)visited by evil.
24 The (D)sluggard buries his hand (E)in the dish,
But will not even bring it back to his mouth.
