Proverbs 19:18-28

18 erudi filium tuum ne desperes ad interfectionem autem eius ne ponas animam tuam

19 qui inpatiens est sustinebit damnum et cum rapuerit aliud adponet

20 audi consilium et suscipe disciplinam ut sis sapiens in novissimis tuis

21 multae cogitationes in corde viri voluntas autem Domini permanebit

22 homo indigens misericors est et melior pauper quam vir mendax

23 timor Domini ad vitam et in plenitudine commorabitur absque visitatione pessimi

24 abscondit piger manum suam sub ascella nec ad os suum adplicat eam

25 pestilente flagellato stultus sapientior erit sin autem corripueris sapientem intelleget disciplinam

26 qui adfligit patrem et fugat matrem ignominiosus est et infelix

27 non cesses fili audire doctrinam nec ignores sermones scientiae

28 testis iniquus deridet iudicium et os impiorum devorat iniquitatem
