Proverbs 19:16-18
The Voice
16 Whoever keeps God’s commands lengthens his life,
but a careless lifestyle ends in death.
17 Whoever cares for the poor makes a loan to the Eternal;
such kindness will be repaid in full and with interest.
18 Discipline your children while there is still hope of influencing their future,
so as not to play a part in their 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)
