15Cowardice possesses the effeminate man; And the soul of the sluggard shall hunger.
16He that keeps the commandment keeps his own soul; But he that despises his ways shall perish.
17He that has pity on the poor lends to the Lord; And he will recompense to him according to his gift.
18Chasten thy son, for so he shall be hopeful; And be not exalted in thy soul to haughtiness.
19A malicious man shall be severely punished, And if he commit injury, he shall also lose his life.
