Proverbs 19:18-28

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.

²⁴He that unjustly hides his hands in his bosom, Will not even bring them up to his mouth.

²⁵When a pestilent character is scourged, a simple man is made wiser: And if thou reprove a wise man, he will understand discretion.

²⁶He that dishonors his father, and drives away his mother, Shall be disgraced and shall be exposed to reproach.

²⁷A son who ceases to attend to the instruction of a father Will cherish evil designs.

²⁸He that becomes surety for a foolish child will despise the ordinance: And the mouth of ungodly men shall drink down judgments.
