Proverbs 19:17-19

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁷ If you are kind to poor people, you are lending money to the Lord.
    He will pay back the debt to you.
¹⁸ When your children do wrong things,
    warn them while you still have the chance.
If you do not punish them,
    you are helping them to go to an early death.
¹⁹ Anyone who cannot control his anger is always getting into trouble.
    If you try to help him once, you will have to do it every time.
