Proverbs 19:16-18
Amplified Bible
16
He who keeps and obeys the commandment [of the Lord] keeps (guards) his own life,
But he who is careless of his ways and conduct will die.(A)
17
He who is gracious and lends a hand to the poor lends to the Lord,
And the Lord will repay him for his good deed.(B)
18
Discipline and teach your son while there is hope,
And do not [indulge your anger or resentment by imposing inappropriate punishment nor] desire his destruction.
Proverbs 19:16-18
New International Version
16 Whoever keeps commandments keeps their life,
but whoever shows contempt for their ways will die.(A)
17 Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord,(B)
and he will reward them for what they have done.(C)
18 Discipline your children, for in that there is hope;
do not be a willing party to their death.(D)
