17 Anyone who is kind to poor people lends to the Lord. God will reward him for what he has done.
18 Train your child. Then there is hope. Don't do anything to bring about his death.
19 Anyone who burns with anger must pay for it. If you save him, you will have to do it again.
20 Listen to advice and accept what you are taught. In the end you will be wise.
21 A man may have many plans in his heart. But the Lord's purpose wins out in the end.
22 Every man longs for love that never fails. It is better to be poor than to be a liar.
23 Having respect for the Lord leads to life. Then you will be content and free from trouble.
