Proverbs 19:18–22 · Berean Standard Bible

18 Discipline your son, for in that there is hope; do not be party to his death.

19 A man of great anger must pay the penalty; if you rescue him, you will have to do so again.

20 Listen to counsel and accept discipline, that you may be wise the rest of your days.

21 Many plans are in a man’s heart, but the purpose of the LORD will prevail.

22 The desire of a man is loving devotion; better to be poor than a liar.
