16He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his soul; he that is careless of his ways shall die.
17He that is gracious to the poor lendeth unto Jehovah; and what he hath bestowed will he repay unto him.
18Chasten thy son, seeing there is hope; but set not thy soul upon killing him.
19A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment; for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again.
20Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
21Many are the thoughts in a man's heart, but the counsel of Jehovah, that doth stand.
22The charm of a man is his kindness; and a poor man is better than a liar.
23The fear of Jehovah tendeth to life, and he that hath it shall rest satisfied without being visited with evil.
24A sluggard burieth his hand in the dish, and will not even bring it to his mouth again.
