Proverbs 19:18

Parents and childrenHope

16 He who keeps a commandment preserves his soul, but he who is careless in his ways will die.

17 Kindness to the poor is a loan to the LORD, and He will repay the lender.

Discipline your son, for in that there is hope; do not be party to his death.

19 A man of great anger must pay the penalty; if you rescue him, you will have to do so again.

20 Listen to counsel and accept discipline, that you may be wise the rest of your days.
