Proverbs 19:16-18

Revised Standard Version

¹⁶ He who keeps the commandment keeps his life;
    he who despises the word^[a] will die.
¹⁷ He who is kind to the poor lends to the Lord,
    and he will repay him for his deed.
¹⁸ Discipline your son while there is hope;
    do not set your heart on his destruction.
