Proverbs 19:16–17

16 Whoever keeps commandments keeps their life,

but whoever shows contempt for their ways will die.

17 Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord,

and he will reward them for what they have done.

16 Whoever keeps the commandment keeps his life;

he who despises his ways will die.

17 Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord,

and he will repay him for his deed.

16 He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul;

But he that despiseth his ways shall die.

17 He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord;

And that which he hath given will he pay him again.

16 Keep the commandments and keep your life;

despising them leads to death.

17 If you help the poor, you are lending to the Lord—

and he will repay you!

16 He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul,

But he who is careless of his ways will die.

17 He who has pity on the poor lends to the Lord,

And He will pay back what he has given.

16 Those who obey the commands protect themselves,

but those who are careless will die.

17 Being kind to the poor is like lending to the Lord;

he will reward you for what you have done.

16 He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his soul;

But he that is careless of his ways shall die.

17 He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto Jehovah,

And his good deed will he pay him again.

16 He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his soul; he that is careless of his ways shall die.

17 He that is gracious to the poor lendeth unto Jehovah; and what he hath bestowed will he repay unto him.

16 Whoever obeys the law preserves his life, 

⸤but⸥ whoever despises the Lord’s ways will be put to death. 

17 Whoever has pity on the poor lends to the Lord, 

and he will repay him for his good deed. 

16 Those who keep the commandment will live;

those who are heedless of their ways will die.

17 Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord

and will be repaid in full.

16 He who guards commandments guards his life;

he who is careless of his ways will be killed.

17 He who lends to Yahweh is he who is kind to the poor,

and his benefits he will repay to him.

16 Those who obey what they are taught guard their lives.

But those who don’t care how they live will die.

17 Anyone who is kind to poor people lends to the Lord.

God will reward him for what he has done.

16 He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul,

But he who is careless of conduct will die.

17 One who is gracious to a poor man lends to the Lord,

And He will repay him for his good deed.
