19 A hot-tempered person pays a penalty; if you rescue him, you will do it yet again.
20 Listen to advice and accept instruction so that you will gain wisdom for your future.
21 Many plans are in the heart of a man, but the purpose of Yahweh will be established.
22 The craving of a man is his steadfast loyalty, and it is better to be poor than a liar.
23 Fear of Yahweh leads to life; he who is filled with it will rest—he will not suffer harm.
24 A lazy person buries his hand in the dish, and even to his mouth he will not bring it back.
25 The scoffer you shall strike, and the simple, may they learn prudence, and reprove the intelligent and he will gain knowledge.
