Proverbs 13:23-25
EasyEnglish Bible
23 Even a poor man's field may give him enough food.
But he loses it because wicked people rob him.
24 If you do not punish your child, you show that you hate him.
If you really love your child, you will punish him when he does something wrong.
25 Righteous people have plenty of food to eat.
But wicked people have an empty stomach.
Proverbs 13:23-25
New International Version
23 An unplowed field produces food for the poor,
but injustice sweeps it away.
24 Whoever spares the rod(A) hates their children,
but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline(B) them.(C)
25 The righteous eat to their hearts’ content,
but the stomach of the wicked goes hungry.(D)
