17. Whoso is lending [to] Jehovah is favouring the poor, And his deed He repayeth to him.
18. Chastise thy son, for there is hope, And to put him to death lift not up thy soul.
19. A man of great wrath is bearing punishment, For, if thou dost deliver, yet again thou dost add.
20. Hear counsel and receive instruction, So that thou art wise in thy latter end.
21. Many [are] the purposes in a man's heart, And the counsel of Jehovah it standeth.
22. The desirableness of a man [is] his kindness, And better [is] the poor than a liar.
23. The fear of Jehovah [is] to life, And satisfied he remaineth--he is not charged with evil.
