Proverbs 19:22-24
New American Standard Bible 1995
22 What is desirable in a man is his [a]kindness,
And it is better to be a poor man than a liar.
23 The [b](A)fear of the Lord leads to life,
So that one may sleep (B)satisfied, [c](C)untouched by evil.
24 The (D)sluggard buries his hand (E)in the dish,
But will not even bring it back to his mouth.
