Proverbs 19:22-24
Amplified Bible
22
That which is desirable in a man is his loyalty and unfailing love,
But it is better to be a poor man than a [wealthy] liar.
23
The fear of the Lord leads to life,
So that one may sleep satisfied, untouched by evil.(A)
24
The lazy man buries his hand in the [food] dish,
But will not even bring it to his mouth again.

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

he will not even bring it back to his mouth!(B)
