18 Chasten your son while there is hope,and let not your soul spare for his crying.
19 A man of great wrath will suffer punishment;for if you deliver him, yet you must do it again.
20 Hear counsel and receive instruction,that you may be wise in your latter days.
21 There are many plans in a man’s heart,nevertheless the counsel of the Lord will stand.
22 The desire of a man is his kindness,and a poor man is better than a liar.
23 The fear of the Lord tends to life,and he who has it will abide satisfied; he will not be visited with evil.
24 A slothful man hides his hand in his bowl,and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
