Proverbs 22:15-19

Living Bible

¹⁵ A youngster’s heart is filled with rebellion, but punishment will drive it out of him.

¹⁶ He who gains by oppressing the poor or by bribing the rich shall end in poverty.

^17-19 Listen to this wise advice; follow it closely, for it will do you good, and you can pass it on to others: Trust in the Lord.
