Proverbs 19:15-22
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 19

15Laziness casts one into a deep sleep, And a lazy person will suffer hunger. 16One who keeps the commandment keeps his soul, But one who is careless of conduct will die. 17One who is gracious to a poor person lends to the Lord, And He will repay him for his good deed. 18Discipline your son while there is hope, And do not desire his death. 19 A person of great anger will suffer the penalty, For if you rescue him, you will only have to do it again. 20Listen to advice and accept discipline, So that you may be wise the rest of your days. 21Many plans are in a person’s heart, But the advice of the Lord will stand. 22What is desirable in a person is his kindness, And it is better to be a poor person than a liar.
King James Version

Chapter 19

15Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
16He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die.
17He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.
18Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.
19A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again.
20Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
21There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand.
22The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 19

15Laziness induces deep sleep, and a lazy person will go hungry.
16The one who keeps commands preserves himself; one who disregards his ways will die.
17Kindness to the poor is a loan to the Lord, and he will give a reward to the lender.
18Discipline your son while there is hope; don’t set your heart on being the cause of his death.
19A person with intense anger bears the penalty; if you rescue him, you’ll have to do it again.
20Listen to counsel and receive instruction so that you may be wise later in life.
21Many plans are in a person’s heart, but the Lord’s decree will prevail.
22What is desirable in a person is his fidelity; better to be a poor person than a liar.
New Living Translation

Chapter 19

15Lazy people sleep soundly, but idleness leaves them hungry.
16Keep the commandments and keep your life; despising them leads to death.
17If you help the poor, you are lending to the Lord — and he will repay you!
18Discipline your children while there is hope. Otherwise you will ruin their lives.
19Hot-tempered people must pay the penalty. If you rescue them once, you will have to do it again.
20Get all the advice and instruction you can, so you will be wise the rest of your life.
21You can make many plans, but the Lord’s purpose will prevail.
22Loyalty makes a person attractive. It is better to be poor than dishonest.
English Standard Version

Chapter 19

15 Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep, and an idle person will suffer hunger. 16Whoever keeps the commandment keeps his life; he who despises his ways will die. 17 Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed. 18 Discipline your son, for there is hope; do not set your heart on putting him to death. 19A man of great wrath will pay the penalty, for if you deliver him, you will only have to do it again. 20Listen to advice and accept instruction, that you may gain wisdom in the future. 21 Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand. 22What is desired in a man is steadfast love, and a poor man is better than a liar.
New International Version

Chapter 19

15Laziness brings on deep sleep, and the shiftless go hungry.
16Whoever keeps commandments keeps their life, but whoever shows contempt for their ways will die.
17Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward them for what they have done.
18Discipline your children, for in that there is hope; do not be a willing party to their death.
19A hot-tempered person must pay the penalty; rescue them, and you will have to do it again.
20Listen to advice and accept discipline, and at the end you will be counted among the wise.
21Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.
22What a person desires is unfailing love ; better to be poor than a liar.
New King James Version

Chapter 19

15 Laziness casts one into a deep sleep, And an idle person will suffer hunger. 16 He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul, But he who is careless of his ways will die. 17 He who has pity on the poor lends to the Lord, And He will pay back what he has given. 18 Chasten your son while there is hope, And do not set your heart on his destruction. 19 A man of great wrath will suffer punishment; For if you rescue him, you will have to do it again. 20Listen to counsel and receive instruction, That you may be wise in your latter days. 21There are many plans in a man’s heart, Nevertheless the Lord’s counsel—that will stand. 22What is desired in a man is kindness, And a poor man is better than a liar.
