Proverbs 19:16-25

¹⁶He that keepeth the commandement, keepeth his owne soule: but hee that despiseth his wayes, shall dye.

¹⁷He that hath mercy vpon the poore, lendeth vnto the Lord: and the Lord will recompense him that which he hath giuen.

¹⁸Chasten thy sonne while there is hope, and let not thy soule spare for his murmuring.

¹⁹A man of much anger shall suffer punishment: and though thou deliuer him, yet wil his anger come againe.

²⁰Heare counsell and receiue instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter ende.

²¹Many deuises are in a mans heart: but the counsell of the Lord shall stand.

²²That that is to be desired of a man, is his goodnes, and a poore man is better then a lyer.

²³The feare of the Lord leadeth to life: and he that is filled therewith, shall continue, and shall not be visited with euill.

²⁴The slouthfull hideth his hand in his bosome, and wil not put it to his mouth againe.

²⁵Smite a scorner, and the foolish wil beware: and reproue the prudent, and he wil vnderstand knowledge.
