Proverbs 19:21-23

EasyEnglish Bible

²¹ You may have lots of ideas about what you want to do.
    But it is the Lord's plans that are important.
²² We all want other people to show faithful love.
    It is better to be poor than to deceive other people.
²³ If you respect and obey the Lord,
    you will enjoy life.
You will have peace in your mind
    and no trouble will destroy you.
