Proverbs 19:23-25

Easy-to-Read Version

²³ Respect the Lord and you will have a good life, one that is satisfying and free from trouble.

²⁴ Some people are too lazy to take care of themselves. They will not even lift the food from their plate to their mouth.

²⁵ Punish a rude, arrogant person, and even slow learners will become wiser. But just a little correction is enough to teach a person who has understanding.
