21. Many [are] the purposes in a man's heart, And the counsel of Jehovah it standeth.
22. The desirableness of a man [is] his kindness, And better [is] the poor than a liar.
23. The fear of Jehovah [is] to life, And satisfied he remaineth--he is not charged with evil.
24. The slothful hath hidden his hand in a dish, Even unto his mouth he bringeth it not back.
25. A scorner smite, and the simple acts prudently, And give reproof to the intelligent, He understandeth knowledge.
