20 Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that you may be wise in your latter days.
21 There are many plans in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.
22 The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.
23 The fear of the LORD leads to life: and he that has it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.
24 A slothful man hides his hand in his dish, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
25 Smite a scoffer, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that has understanding, and he will understand knowledge.
26 He that mistreats his father, and chases away his mother, is a son that causes shame, and brings reproach.
