Proverbs 19:20-25 Common English Bible (CEB)

20. Listen to advice and accept instruction,so you might grow wise in the future.

21. Many plans are in a person’s mind,but the Lord’s purpose will succeed.

22. People long for trustworthiness;it is better to be poor than a liar.

23. The fear of the Lord leads to life;then one rests content, untouched by harm.

24. Lazy people bury their hand in the bowl;they won’t even put it to their mouth.

25. Strike someone who scoffs, and a naive person will become clever;correct someone with understanding, and they will gain knowledge.
