Proverbs 19:20-23

New International Version

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

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

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

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