¹⁹ A violent-tempered person will pay the penalty;
    if you effect a rescue, you will only have to do it again.^[a]
20 Listen to advice and accept instruction,
    that you may gain wisdom for the future.
²¹ The human mind may devise many plans,
    but it is the purpose of the Lord that will be established.
²² What is desirable in a person is loyalty,
    and it is better to be poor than a liar.
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.
