Proverbs 19:21-23

New American Standard Bible 1995

²¹ Many ^(A)plans are in a man’s heart,
But the ^(B)counsel of the Lord will stand.
²² What is desirable in a man is his ^[a]kindness,
And it is better to be a poor man than a liar.
²³ The ^[b](C)fear of the Lord leads to life,
So that one may sleep ^(D)satisfied, ^[c](E)untouched by evil.
