Proverbs 19:16-18

New Living Translation

¹⁶Keep the commandments and keep your life;
despising them leads to death.

¹⁷If you help the poor, you are lending to the Lord—
and he will repay you!

¹⁸Discipline your children while there is hope.
Otherwise you will ruin their lives.

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