Proverbs 19:23-25

Common English Bible

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.
