Proverbs 19:22-26 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

22. What is desirable in a man is his fidelity;better to be a poor man than a liar.

23. The fear of the Lord leads to life;one will sleep at night without danger.

24. The slacker buries his hand in the bowl;he doesn’t even bring it back to his mouth.

25. Strike a mocker, and the inexperienced learn a lesson; rebuke the discerning, and he gains knowledge.

26. The one who assaults his father and evicts his motheris a disgraceful and shameful son.
