Proverbs 19:16

New Living Translation

¹⁶Keep the commandments and keep your life;
despising them leads to death.

Proverbs 19:16

Common English Bible

¹⁶Those who keep the commandment preserve their lives;
those who disregard their ways will die.

²⁰Get all the advice and instruction you can,
so you will be wise the rest of your life.

²⁰Listen to advice and accept instruction,
so you might grow wise in the future.

²⁵If you punish a mocker, the simpleminded will learn a lesson;
if you correct the wise, they will be all the wiser.

²⁵Strike someone who scoffs, and a naive person will become clever;
correct someone with understanding, and they will gain knowledge.

²⁷If you stop listening to instruction, my child,
you will turn your back on knowledge.

²⁷If, my child, you stop listening to discipline,
you will wander away from words of knowledge.
