Proverbs 19:15-17

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁵ Laziness throws one into a deep sleep,
and an idle person will go hungry.
¹⁶ Whoever obeys the law preserves his life,
⌞but⌟ whoever despises the Lord’s ways will be put to death.

¹⁷ Whoever has pity on the poor lends to the Lord,
and he will repay him for his good deed.
