Proverbs 19:15-25

¹⁵Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep, and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

¹⁶He that keepeth the commandment, keepeth his own soul: but he that neglecteth his own way, shall die.

¹⁷He that hath mercy on the poor, lendeth to the Lord: and he will repay him.

¹⁸Chastise thy son, despair not: but to the killing of him set not thy soul.

¹⁹He that is impatient, shall suffer damage: and when he shall take away he shall add another thing.

²⁰Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayst be wise in thy latter end.

²¹There are many thoughts in the heart of a man: but the will of the Lord shall stand firm.

²²A needy man is merciful: and better is the poor than the lying man.

²³The fear of the Lord is unto life: and he shall abide in fulness without being visited with evil.

²⁴The slothful hideth his hand under his armpit, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth.

²⁵The wicked man being; scourged, the fool shall be wiser: but if thou rebuke a wise man he will understand discipline.
