PROVERBS 19:17-23

¹⁷He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD, and his good deed will he pay him again.

¹⁸Chasten thy son, seeing there is hope; and set not thy heart on his destruction.

¹⁹A man of great wrath shall bear the penalty: for if thou deliver him, thou must do it yet again.

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

²¹There are many devices in a man’s heart; but the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.

²²The desire of a man is the measure of his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.

²³The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.
