22 What is desirable in a man is his kindness, And it is better to be a poor man than a liar.
23 The fear of the Lord leads to life, So that one may sleep satisfied, untouched by evil.
24 The sluggard buries his hand in the dish, But will not even bring it back to his mouth.
25 Strike a scoffer and the naive may become shrewd, But reprove one who has understanding and he will gain knowledge.
26 He who assaults his father and drives his mother away Is a shameful and disgraceful son.
27 Cease listening, my son, to discipline, And you will stray from the words of knowledge.
28 A rascally witness makes a mockery of justice, And the mouth of the wicked spreads iniquity.
29 Judgments are prepared for scoffers, And blows for the back of fools.
Proverbs 20
1 Wine is a mocker, strong drink a brawler, And whoever is intoxicated by it is not wise.
2 The terror of a king is like the growling of a lion; He who provokes him to anger forfeits his own life.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
