Proverbs 19:17-19

Revised Standard Version

¹⁷ He who is kind to the poor lends to the Lord,
    and he will repay him for his deed.
¹⁸ Discipline your son while there is hope;
    do not set your heart on his destruction.
¹⁹ A man of great wrath will pay the penalty;
    for if you deliver him, you will only have to do it again.^[a]
