Proverbs 19:17-23

¹⁷He that has pity on the poor lends to the Lord; And he will recompense to him according to his gift.

¹⁸Chasten thy son, for so he shall be hopeful; And be not exalted in thy soul to haughtiness.

¹⁹A malicious man shall be severely punished, And if he commit injury, he shall also lose his life.

²⁰Hear, son, the instruction of thy father, That thou mayest be wise at thy latter end.

²¹There are many thoughts in a man’s heart; But the counsel of the Lord abides forever.

²²Mercy is a fruit to a man: And a poor man is better than a rich liar.

²³The fear of the Lord is life to a man: And he shall lodge without fear in places where knowledge is not seen.
