Proverbs 19:12-21

¹²Like the roaring of a young lion is the wrath of a king: as dew upon the herbs is his favor.

¹³A calamity unto his father is a foolish son; and a continual dropping are the quarrels of a wife.

¹⁴House and wealth are an inheritance from fathers; but from the Lord cometh an intelligent wife.

¹⁵Slothfulness casteth man into a deep sleep; and an indolent soul will suffer hunger.

¹⁶He that observeth the commandment guardeth his own soul: but he that disregardeth directing his ways aright shall die.

¹⁷He lendeth unto the Lord that is liberal to the poor, and his good deed will he repay unto him.

¹⁸Chastise thy son, for there is hope; and let not thy soul spare him for his crying.

¹⁹A man of great fury must suffer punishment; for if thou deliver him, thou must still do it again.

²⁰Hear counsel, and accept correction, in order that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.

²¹There are many thoughts in a man's heart; but the counsel of the Lord alone will stand firm.
