Proverbs 19:18-22

¹⁸Teach thy son, and despair thou not; but set thou not thy soul to the slaying of him (or but do not thou beat him).

¹⁹Forsooth he that is unpatient, shall suffer harm; and when he hath ravished (one thing), he shall lay to another thing. (He who is ill-tempered, shall suffer harm; thou shalt help him once, and then thou shalt need to help him again, and again.)

²⁰Hear thou counsel, and take thou doctrine; that thou be wise in thy last things. (Listen thou to advice, and receive thou teaching, or instruction; so that thou shalt be wise until thy last breath.)

²¹Many thoughts there be in the heart of a man; but the will of the Lord shall dwell. (There (be) many plans in a person’s heart; but the Lord’s purpose shall stand, (yea, it shall prevail).)

²²A needy man is merciful; and better is a poor (but) just man, than a man (who is a) liar. (A person in need is merciful; and it is better to be poor but righteous, than to be a liar.)
