Proverbs 19:16-18
Contemporary English Version

16 Obey the Lord's teachings
and you will live—
    disobey and you will die.
17 Caring for the poor
is lending to the Lord,
    and you will be well repaid.
18 Correct your children
    before it's too late;
if you don't punish them,
    trouble will come their way.[a]
