Proverbs 19:13-22
A foolish child is a father’s ruin.
A nagging wife is like dripping that never stops.
You will receive houses and wealth from your parents.
But a wise wife is given by the Lord.
Anyone who doesn’t want to work sleeps his life away.
And a person who refuses to work goes hungry.
Those who keep commandments keep their lives.
But those who don’t care how they live will die.
Anyone who is kind to poor people lends to the Lord.
God will reward them for what they have done.
Train your children, because then there is hope.
Don’t do anything to bring about their deaths.
A person with a bad temper must pay for it.
If you save them, you will have to do it again.
Listen to advice and accept correction.
In the end you will be counted among those who are wise.
A person may have many plans in their heart.
But the Lord’s purpose wins out in the end.
Everyone longs for love that never fails.
It is better to be poor than to be a liar.
