Mishle 19:14-23 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

14. Bais and hon (wealth) are the nachalah avot, and a prudent isha (wife) is from Hashem.

15. Atzlah (slothfulness, laziness) casteth into a tardemah (deep sleep), and a nefesh remiyyah (a deceitfully lazy soul) shall suffer hunger.

16. He that is shomer over the mitzvah is shomer over his own nefesh, but he that is reckless in his drakhim shall die.

17. He that hath compassion on the dal (poor) lendeth unto Hashem; and for his benefits He will repay him.

18. Chasten binecha (thy son) while there is yet tikvah, and give not in to thy nefesh (desire) to kill him.

19. One of gadol chemah (great temper) shall bear onesh (punishment), for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again.

20. Hear etzah, and accept musar, that thou mayest be wise in thy acharit (latter end, future).

21. There are many plans in a lev ish; nevertheless it is the etzah of Hashem that shall stand.

22. The ta'avah (what is desirable) in an adam is his chesed, and a rahsh (pauper) is better than an ish kazav (liar).

23. The Yirat Hashem tendeth to chayyim, and he that hath it shall rest secure; he shall not be visited by rah.
