Proverbs 19:19-27

¹⁹A hot-tempered person must pay the penalty; if you rescue him, you will have to do it a second time.

²⁰Listen to advice and accept instruction, so you may become wise by the end of your life.

²¹Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the purpose of Yahweh that will stand.

²²Loyalty is what a person desires and a poor person is better than a liar.

²³Honor for Yahweh leads people to life; anyone who has it will be satisfied and not afflicted by harm.

²⁴The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he will not even bring it back up to his mouth.

²⁵Strike a mocker, and the naive person will become prudent; discipline one who is discerning, and he will gain knowledge.

²⁶The one who robs his father and chases his mother away is a son who brings shame and reproach.

²⁷If you cease to hear instruction, my son, you will stray from the words of knowledge.
