Proverbs 19:22-24

New International Version

²²What a person desires is unfailing love^[a];
better to be poor than a liar.

²³The fear of the Lord leads to life;
then one rests content, untouched by trouble.^(A)

²⁴A sluggard buries his hand in the dish;
he will not even bring it back to his mouth!^(B)

Proverbs 19:22-24

King James Version

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

²³The fear of the Lord tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.

²⁴A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

²²What is desired in a man is ^[a]kindness,
And a poor man is better than a liar.

²³^(A)The fear of the Lord leads to life,
And he who has it will abide in satisfaction;
He will not be visited with evil.

²⁴^(B)A lazy man buries his hand in the ^[b]bowl,
And will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
