Proverbs 19:19

Compare all

17 ^aHe who has pity on the poor lends to the Lord,
And He will pay back what he has given.

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.

20 Listen to counsel and receive instruction,
That you may be wise ^ain your latter days.

21 There are many plans in a man’s heart,
^aNevertheless the Lord’s counsel—that will stand.

Proverbs 19:19

The sense of the last words seems to be that the connection between wrath and punishment is so invariable, that all efforts to save the passionate man from the disastrous consequences which he brings on his own head are made in vain.
