Proverbs 19:16-18

New International Reader's Version

¹⁶ Those who keep commandments keep their lives.
    But those who don’t care how they live will die.

¹⁷ Anyone who is kind to poor people lends to the Lord.
    God will reward them for what they have done.

¹⁸ Train your children, because then there is hope.
    Don’t do anything to bring about their deaths.
