Proverbs

¹⁸Chasten thy son, seeing there is hope; and set not thy heart on his destruction. ¹⁹A man of great wrath shall bear the penalty: for if thou deliver him, thou must do it yet again. ²⁰Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end. ²¹There are many devices in a man's heart; but the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand. ²²The desire of a man is the measure of his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar. ²³The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil. ²⁴The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
