Proverbs 19:16-18
EasyEnglish Bible
16 If you obey God's commands, you will keep your life safe.
If you do not respect his teaching, you will die.
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.
Proverbs 19:16-18

but whoever shows contempt for their ways will die.(A)
17 Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord,(B)

do not be a willing party to their death.(D)
