15 Laziness brings on deep sleep;a slacker goes hungry.
16 Those who keep the commandment preserve their lives;those who disregard their ways will die.
17 Those who are gracious to the poor lend to the Lord,and the Lord will fully repay them.
18 Discipline your children while there is hope,but don’t plan to kill them.
19 Angry people must pay the penalty;if you rescue them, then you will have to do it again.
20 Listen to advice and accept instruction,so you might grow wise in the future.
21 Many plans are in a person’s mind,but the Lord’s purpose will succeed.
