22 What is desired of a person is fidelity;rather be poor than a liar.
23 The fear of the Lord leads to life;one eats and sleeps free from any harm.
24 The sluggard buries a hand in the dish;not even lifting it to the mouth.
25 Beat a scoffer and the naive learn a lesson;rebuke the intelligent and they gain knowledge.
26 Whoever mistreats a father or drives away a mother,is a shameless and disgraceful child.
27 My son, stop attending to correction;start straying from words of knowledge.
28 An unprincipled witness scoffs at justice,and the mouth of the wicked pours out iniquity.
