Proverbs 19:21-23
GOD’S WORD Translation
21 Many plans are in the human heart,
but the advice of the Lord will endure.
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.
Proverbs 19:21-23
New International Version
21 Many are the plans in a person’s heart,
but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.(A)
22 What a person desires is unfailing love[a];
better to be poor than a liar.
23 The fear of the Lord leads to life;
then one rests content, untouched by trouble.(B)
