Proverbs 19:22-27 God's Word Translation (GW)

22. Loyalty is desirable in a person,and it is better to be poor than a liar.

23. The fear of the Lord leads to life,and such a person will rest easy without suffering harm.

24. A lazy person puts his fork in his food.He doesn’t even bring it back to his mouth.

25. Strike a mocker, and a gullible person may learn a lesson.Warn an understanding person, and he will gain more knowledge.

26. A son who assaults his father ⌊and⌋ who drives away his motherbrings shame and disgrace.

27. If you stop listening to instruction, my son,you will stray from the words of knowledge.
