17 Kindness to the poor is a loan to the Lord, and He will give a reward to the lender.
18 Discipline your son while there is hope;don’t be intent on killing him.
19 A person with great anger bears the penalty;if you rescue him, you’ll have to do it again.
20 Listen to counsel and receive instructionso that you may be wise later in life.
21 Many plans are in a man’s heart,but the Lord’s decree will prevail.
22 What is desirable in a man is his fidelity;better to be a poor man than a liar.
23 The fear of the Lord leads to life;one will sleep at night without danger.
