Proverbs 19:16-18

Amplified Bible

¹⁶
He who keeps and obeys the commandment [of the Lord] keeps (guards) his own life,
But he who is careless of his ways and conduct will die.^(A)
¹⁷
He who is gracious and lends a hand to the poor lends to the Lord,
And the Lord will repay him for his good deed.^(B)

Discipline and teach your son while there is hope,
And do not [indulge your anger or resentment by imposing inappropriate punishment nor] desire his destruction.
