16Those who obey God's commandments will remain alive for a long time; those who despise/disobey them (OR, those who do not control their own conduct) will die while they are still young.
17When we give things to poor people, it is as though we are lending to Yahweh, and he will ◄pay us back/reward us for what we did►.
18Discipline your children while they are young, while you still hope that they will learn to behave as they should; if you do not discipline them, you are helping them to destroy themselves.
19Those who ◄do not control their temper/quickly become very angry► will have to endure what happens as a result; but if we rescue them from those troubles once, we will have to continue rescuing them.
20Pay attention when people give you good advice and learn from them, in order that you will become wise for the rest of your life.
21People plan to do many kinds of things, but what will happen is what Yahweh has decided will happen.
