Proverbs 19:23 Context
21There are many deuices in a mans heart: neuerthelesse the counsell of the Lord, that shall stand. 22The desire of a man is his kindnesse: and a poore man is better then a lyar. 23The feare of the Lord tendeth to life, and he that hath it shall abide satisfied: he shall not be visited with euill. 24A slouthfull man hideth his hand in his bosome, and wil not so much as bring it to his mouth againe. 25Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware; and reprooue one that hath vnderstanding, and he will vnderstand knowledge.
