Proverbs 19:15-20 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

15. Laziness brings on sleep, and an appetite for rest brings on hunger.

16. Obey the law and live; ignore it and die.

17. Giving help to the poor is like loaning money to the Lord. He will pay you back for your kindness.

18. Discipline your children while there is still hope. Avoiding it can be deadly.

19. People who are quick to become angry must pay the price. Protect them from punishment, and they become worse.

20. Listen to advice and accept discipline; then you, too, will become wise.
