21 There are many plans in a man`s heart, But Yahweh`s counsel will prevail.
22 That which makes a man to be desired is his kindness. A poor man is better than a liar.
23 The fear of Yahweh leads to life, then contentment; He rests and will not be touched by trouble.
24 The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; He will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
25 Flog a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; Rebuke one who has understanding, and he will gain knowledge.
26 He who robs his father and drives away his mother, Is a son who causes shame and brings reproach.
27 Stop, my son, listening to instruction, And you will stray from the words of knowledge.
