16 One who keeps a mitzvah guards his soul, but one who neglects His ways will die.
17 One who is kind to the poor lends to Adonai, and Adonai will reward him for his good deed.
18 Discipline your son while there is hope. Do not set your heart on his death.
19 One with great rage will pay a penalty. For if you rescue him, you will have to do it again.
20 Listen to advice and accept instruction, so that in the end you may be wise.
21 Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but the counsel of Adonai will stand.
22 What is desired in a man is loyalty, and a poor person is better than a liar.
