Proverbs 19:13-21

¹³A foolish son is the destruction of his father; and the bitter arguments of a wife are like drops of rain falling without end.

¹⁴House and wealth are a heritage from fathers, but a wife with good sense is from the Lord.

¹⁵Hate of work sends deep sleep on a man: and he who has no industry will go without food.

¹⁶He who keeps the law keeps his soul; but death will be the fate of him who takes no note of the word.

¹⁷He who has pity on the poor gives to the Lord, and the Lord will give him his reward.

¹⁸Give your son training while there is hope; let not your heart be purposing his death.

¹⁹A man of great wrath will have to take his punishment: for if you get him out of trouble you will have to do it again.

²⁰Let your ear be open to suggestion and take teaching, so that at the end you may be wise.

²¹A man's heart may be full of designs, but the purpose of the Lord is unchanging.
