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 will 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 tends to life,and he who has it will abide satisfied; he will not be visited with evil.
24 A slothful man hides his hand in his bowl,and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
25 Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware;and reprove one who has understanding, and he will understand knowledge.
26 He who mistreats his father and chases away his motheris a son who causes shame and brings reproach.
