Proverbs 19:17-19
Good News Translation
17 When you give to the poor, it is like lending to the Lord, and the Lord will pay you back.
18 Discipline your children while they are young enough to learn. If you don't, you are helping them destroy themselves.[a]
19 If someone has a hot temper, let him take the consequences. If you get him out of trouble once, you will have to do it again.[b]
