Proverbs 19:15-18 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

15. Laziness sends one into a deep sleep, and a dissolute soul will go hungry.

16. Whoever guards a commandment guards his own soul. But whoever neglects his own way will die.

17. Whoever is merciful to the poor lends to the Lord. And he will repay him for his efforts.

18. Teach your son; do not despair. But do not set your soul toward putting him to death.
