New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Proverbs 19
13 A foolish son is destruction to his father, And the contentions of a wife are a constant dripping.
14 House and wealth are an inheritance from fathers, But a prudent wife is from the Lord.
15 Laziness casts into a deep sleep, And an idle man will suffer hunger.
16 He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul, But he who is careless of conduct will die.
17 One who is gracious to a poor man lends to the Lord, And He will repay him for his good deed.
18 Discipline your son while there is hope, And do not desire his death.
19 A man of great anger will bear the penalty, For if you rescue him, you will only have to do it again.
20 Listen to counsel and accept discipline, That you may be wise the rest of your days.
21 Many plans are in a man’s heart, But the counsel of the Lord will stand.
22 What is desirable in a man is his kindness, And it is better to be a poor man than a liar.
23 The fear of the Lord leads to life, So that one may sleep satisfied, untouched by evil.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
