Proverbs 19:22
“The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.”
Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
There are many devices in a man’s heart; nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand.
The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.
The fear of the Lord tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.
A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
