Proverbs 19:16-18

Modern English Version

¹⁶ He who keeps the commandment keeps his own soul,
    but he who is careless in his ways will die.

¹⁷ He who has pity on the poor lends to the Lord,
    and He will repay what he has given.

¹⁸ Chasten your son while there is hope,
    and let not your soul spare for his crying.
