Proverbs 19:13-25 - A Foolish Son Brings Ruin To Others
13 Engulfing ruin to his father, is a son that is a dullard, - and, a continuous dripping, are the contentions of a wife.
14 House and substance, are an inheritance from one's fathers, but, from Yahweh, cometh a wife who is prudent.
15 Sloth, falleth into a deep sleep, and, a soul that is indolent, shall famish.
16 One who guardeth the commandment, guardeth his life, he that is reckless in his ways, shall die.
17 A lender to Yahweh, is one who sheweth favour to the poor, and, his good deed, He will pay him back.
18 Correct thy son, because there is hope, yet, not so as to slay him, let thy passion be excited.
19 A man in a rage, taketh away the penalty, - nevertheless, if thou let him go free, the more stripes must thou add.
20 Hear counsel, receive correction, that thou mayest be wise in thine after-life.
21 Many are the devices in a man's heart, but, the counsel of Yahweh, that, shall stand.
22 The charm of a man, is his lovingkindness, - and better a poor man, than one who deceiveth.
23 The reverence of Yahweh, leadeth to life, satisfied then, let a man remain - let him not be visited by calamity.
24 A sluggard burieth his hand in the dish, even unto his own mouth, will he not bring it back.
25 The scoffer, thou shalt smite, and, the simple, will beware, but correct a man of intelligence - he will understand teaching.
