Proverbs
Chapters 19:20-26
New International Version Anglicized
20Listen to advice and accept discipline,and at the end you will be counted among the wise.
21Many are the plans in a person’s heart,but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.
22What a person desires is unfailing love;better to be poor than a liar.
23The fear of the Lord leads to life;then one rests content, untouched by trouble.
24A sluggard buries his hand in the dish;he will not even bring it back to his mouth!
25Flog a mocker, and the simple will learn prudence;rebuke the discerning, and they will gain knowledge.
26Whoever robs their father and drives out their motheris a child who brings shame and disgrace.
