18Chastise thy son, for there is hope, And to put him to death lift not up thy soul.
19A man of great wrath is bearing punishment, For, if thou dost deliver, yet again thou dost add.
20Hear counsel and receive instruction, So that thou art wise in thy latter end.
21Many are the purposes in a man's heart, And the counsel of Jehovah it standeth.
22The desirableness of a man is his kindness, And better is the poor than a liar.
