Proverbs 19

16 He who keeps a commandment preserves his soul,

but he who is careless in his ways will die.

17 Kindness to the poor is a loan to the Lord,

and He will repay the lender.

18 Discipline your son, for in that there is hope;

do not be party to his death.

Proverbs 15

1 A gentle answer turns away wrath,

but a harsh word stirs up anger.

2 The tongue of the wise commends knowledge,

but the mouth of the fool spouts folly.

Proverbs 11:14 For lack of guidance, a nation falls,

but with many counselors comes deliverance.
