Proverbs 22:9-13

One who is generous will be blessed, Because he gives some of his food to the poor.

Drive out the scoffer, and strife will leave, Even quarreling and dishonor will cease.

One who loves purity of heart And whose speech is gracious, the king is his friend.

The eyes of the Lord protect knowledge, But He overthrows the words of the treacherous person.

The lazy one says, “There is a lion outside; I will be killed in the streets!”
