Proverbs 19:18 Context
16He that keepeth the commandement, keepeth his owne soule: but hee that despiseth his wayes, shall die. 17Hee that hath pity vpon the poore, lendeth vnto the Lord; and that which he hath giuen, will he pay him againe. 18Chasten thy sonne while there is hope; and let not thy soule spare for his crying. 19A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliuer him, yet thou must doe it againe. 20Heare counsell, and receiue instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
