Proverbs 19:22-26
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 19
22
What is desirable in a person is his kindness,
And
it is
better to be a poor person than a liar.
23
The fear of the
Lord
leads
to life,
So that one may sleep satisfied, untouched by evil.
24
The lazy one 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 clever,
But rebuke 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.
King James Version
Chapter 19
22
The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.
23
The fear of the
Lord
tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.
24
A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
25
Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.
26
He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 19
22
What is desirable in a person is his fidelity;
better to be a poor person than a liar.
23
The fear of the
Lord
leads to life;
one will sleep at night without danger.
24
The slacker buries his hand in the bowl;
he doesn’t even bring it back to his mouth!
25
Strike a mocker, and the inexperienced learn a lesson;
rebuke the discerning, and he gains knowledge.
26
The one who plunders his father and evicts his mother
is a disgraceful and shameful son.
New Living Translation
Chapter 19
22
Loyalty makes a person attractive.
It is better to be poor than dishonest.
23
Fear of the
Lord
leads to life,
bringing security and protection from harm.
24
Lazy people take food in their hand
but don’t even lift it to their mouth.
25
If you punish a mocker, the simpleminded will learn a lesson;
if you correct the wise, they will be all the wiser.
26
Children who mistreat their father or chase away their mother
are an embarrassment and a public disgrace.
English Standard Version
Chapter 19
22
What is desired in a man is steadfast love,
and a poor man is better than a liar.
23
The fear of the
Lord
leads to life,
and whoever has it rests satisfied;
he will not be visited by harm.
24
The sluggard buries his hand in the dish
and will not even bring it back to his mouth.
25
Strike a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence;
reprove a man of understanding, and he will gain knowledge.
26
He who does violence to his father and chases away his mother
is a son who brings shame and reproach.
New International Version
Chapter 19
22
What a person desires is unfailing love ;
better to be poor than a liar.
23
The fear of the
Lord
leads to life;
then one rests content, untouched by trouble.
24
A sluggard buries his hand in the dish;
he will not even bring it back to his mouth!
25
Flog a mocker, and the simple will learn prudence;
rebuke the discerning, and they will gain knowledge.
26
Whoever robs their father and drives out their mother
is a child who brings shame and disgrace.
New King James Version
Chapter 19
22
What is desired in a man is kindness,
And a poor man is better than a liar.
23
The fear of the
Lord
leads
to life,
And
he who has it
will abide in satisfaction;
He will not be visited with evil.
24
A lazy
man
buries his hand in the bowl,
And will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
25
Strike a scoffer, and the simple will become wary;
Rebuke one who has understanding,
and
he will discern knowledge.
26
He who mistreats
his
father
and
chases away
his
mother
Is
a son who causes shame and brings reproach.
