Proverbs 19:23-25

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²³ The fear of the Lord is life indeed;
    filled with it one rests secure
    and suffers no harm.
²⁴ The lazy person buries a hand in the dish,
    and will not even bring it back to the mouth.
²⁵ Strike a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence;
    reprove the intelligent, and they will gain knowledge.
