15 ^aLaziness casts one into a deep sleep,
And an idle person will ^bsuffer hunger. ‡

16 ^aHe who keeps the commandment keeps his soul,
But he who¹ is careless of his ways will die. ‡

18 ^aChasten your son while there is hope,
And do not set your heart¹ on his destruction. ‡

19 A man of great wrath will suffer punishment;
For if you rescue him, you will have to do it again.
