Proverbs 19:21-23
International Standard Version
21 Many plans occupy the mind[a] of a man,
but the Lord’s purposes will prevail.[b]
22 Human beings long for grace,
and it’s better to be poor than a man of deceit.
23 The fear of the Lord leads[c] to life;
whoever is satisfied with it will rest,
untouched by evil.
