Proverbs 19:15-17

Expanded Bible

¹⁵ Lazy people ·sleep a lot [^Lfall into a deep sleep],
and idle people will go hungry.

¹⁶ Those who ·obey [guard] the commands ·protect [guard] themselves,
but those who ·are careless [^Ldespise their way] will die.

¹⁷ Being ·kind [gracious; generous] to the poor is like lending to the Lord;
he will ·reward you for what you have done [fully repay you].
