Proverbs 19:22
Berean Standard Bible
The desire of a man is loving devotion; better to be poor than a liar.
Context
20Listen to counsel and accept discipline,
that you may be wise the rest of your days. 21Many plans are in a man’s heart,
but the purpose of the LORD will prevail. 22The desire of a man is loving devotion;
better to be poor than a liar. 23The fear of the LORD leads to life,
that one may rest content, without visitation from harm. 24The slacker buries his hand in the dish;
he will not even bring it back to his mouth.
