Proverbs 19:13-25 - A Foolish Son Brings Ruin To Others
13 A foolish son is the calamity of his father, and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.
14 House and riches are an inheritance from fathers, but a prudent wife is from LORD.
15 Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep, and the idle soul shall suffer hunger.
16 He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul. He who is careless of his ways shall die.
17 He who has pity upon a poor man lends to LORD, and he will repay him his good deed.
18 Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.
19 A man of great wrath shall bear the penalty, for if thou deliver [him], thou must do it yet again.
20 Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou may be wise in thy latter end.
21 There are many devices in a man's heart, but the counsel of LORD, that shall stand.
22 That which makes a man to be desired is his kindness, and a poor man is better than a liar.
23 The fear of LORD is life to a man, and he shall abide satisfied. He shall not be visited with evil.
24 The sluggard buries his hand in the dish, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
25 Smite a scoffer, and a simple man will learn prudence. And reprove him who has understanding, [and] he will understand knowledge.
