Proverbs 19:18-23

New International Version

¹⁸ Discipline your children, for in that there is hope;
    do not be a willing party to their death.^(A)

¹⁹ A hot-tempered person must pay the penalty;
    rescue them, and you will have to do it again.

²⁰ Listen to advice and accept discipline,^(B)
    and at the end you will be counted among the wise.^(C)

²¹ Many are the plans in a person’s heart,
    but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.^(D)

²² What a person desires is unfailing love^[a];
    better to be poor than a liar.

²³ The fear of the Lord leads to life;
    then one rests content, untouched by trouble.^(E)
