Proverbs

¹⁷He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord; and that which he hath given will he pay him again. ¹⁸Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying. ¹⁹A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again. ²⁰Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end. ²¹There are many devices in a man’s heart; nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand. ²²The desire of a man is 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.
