He who has pity on the poor lends to the LORD;
he will reward him.
He who has pity on the poor lends to the LORD;
he will reward him.
Proverbs 19:14–20
House and riches are an inheritance from fathers,
but a prudent wife is from the LORD.
Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep.
The idle soul shall suffer hunger.
He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul,
but he who is contemptuous in his ways shall die.
He who has pity on the poor lends to the LORD;
he will reward him.
Discipline your son, for there is hope;
don’t be a willing party to his death.
A hot-tempered man must pay the penalty,
for if you rescue him, you must do it again.
Listen to counsel and receive instruction,
that you may be wise in your latter end.
