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 your son, for so he shall be hopeful; and be not exalted in your soul to haughtiness.
19A malicious man shall be severely punished, and if he commit injury, he shall also lose his life.
20Hear, son, the instruction of your father, that you may be wise at your latter end.
