Proverbs 19:12-21 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

12. A king’s anger scares people like the roar of a lion.But his kindness is as pleasant as the dew on the grass.

13. A foolish son will ruin his father.And a quarreling wife is as bothersome as dripping water.

14. Houses and wealth are inherited from parents.But a wise wife is a gift from the Lord.

15. Lazy people sleep a lot.Idle people will go hungry.

16. Whoever obeys the commands protects his life.Whoever is careless in what he does will die.

17. Being kind to the poor is like lending to the Lord.The Lord will reward you for what you have done.

18. Correct your son while there is still hope.Do not help him destroy himself.

19. A person who is always getting angry will pay for it.If you help him, you will have to do it again and again.

20. Listen to advice and accept correction.Then in the end you will be wise.

21. People can make many different plans.But only the Lord’s plan will happen.
