Proverbs 19:24 in Context — Proverbs 19

22 O que se deseja do homem [é] sua bondade; porém o pobre é melhor do que o homem mentiroso.

23 O temor ao SENHOR [encaminha] para a vida; aquele que [o tem] habitará satisfeito, nem mal algum o visitará.

24 O preguiçoso põe sua mão no prato, e nem sequer a leva de volta à boca.

25 Fere ao zombador, e o ingênuo será precavido; e repreende ao prudente, e ele aprenderá conhecimento.

26 Aquele que prejudica ao pai [ou] afugenta a mãe é filho causador de vergonha e de desgraça.
