Proverbs 19:16-18
Lexham English Bible
16 He who guards commandments guards his life;[a]
he who is careless of his ways will be killed.
17 He who lends to Yahweh is he who is kind to the poor,
and his benefits he will repay to him.
18 Discipline your child, for there is hope,
but on his destruction do not set your desire.[b]
