Proverbs 19:17-27

17 He that hath mercy on the poor, lendeth to the Lord: and he will repay him.
18 Chastise thy son, despair not: but to the killing of him set not thy soul.
19 He that is impatient, shall suffer damage: and when he shall take away, he shall add another thing.
20 Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayst be wise in thy latter end.
21 There are many thoughts in the heart of a man: but the will of the Lord shall stand firm.
22 A needy man is merciful: and better is the poor than the lying man.
23 The fear of the Lord is unto life: and he shall abide in the fulness without being visited with evil.
24 The slothful hideth his hand under his armpit, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth.
25 The wicked man being scourged, the fool shall be wiser: but if thou rebuke a wise man, he will understand discipline.
26 He that afflicteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is infamous and unhappy.
27 Cease not, O my son, to hear instruction, and be not ignorant of the words of knowledge.
