21. Many are the plans of the human heart,but it is the decision of the Lord that endures.
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.
29. Rods are prepared for scoffers,and blows for the backs of fools.
