Proverbs 19:21-23

New King James Version

²¹There are many plans in a man’s heart,
^(A)Nevertheless the Lord’s counsel—that will stand.

²²What is desired in a man is ^[a]kindness,
And a poor man is better than a liar.

²³^(B)The fear of the Lord leads to life,
And he who has it will abide in satisfaction;
He will not be visited with evil.

Proverbs 19:21-23

New International Version

²¹Many are the plans in a person’s heart,
but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.^(A)

²²What a person desires is unfailing love^[a];
better to be poor than a liar.

²³The fear of the Lord leads to life;
then one rests content, untouched by trouble.^(B)
