Proverbs 19:19-27

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

²⁰Hear, son, the instruction of your father, that you may be wise at your latter end.

²¹There are many thoughts in a man's heart; but the counsel of the Lord abides for ever.

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 you 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.
