Proverbs 19:20-23

New International Version

²⁰Listen to advice and accept discipline,^(A)
and at the end you will be counted among the wise.^(B)

²¹Many are the plans in a person’s heart,
but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.^(C)

²²What a person desires is unfailing love^[a];
better to be poor than a liar.

²³The fear of the Lord leads to life;
then one rests content, untouched by trouble.^(D)

Proverbs 19:20-23

King James Version

²⁰Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.

²¹There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand.

²²The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.

²³The fear of the Lord tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.
