Proverbs 19:9-18 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

9. A witness who lies will be punished.An untruthful person will die.

10. No foolish person should live in luxury.No slave should rule over princes!

11. A wise person is patient.He will be honored if he ignores a wrong done against him.

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.
