Proverbs 13:23-25
The Message
23 Banks foreclose on the farms of the poor,
or else the poor lose their shirts to crooked lawyers.
24 A refusal to correct is a refusal to love;
love your children by disciplining them.
25 An appetite for good brings much satisfaction,
but the belly of the wicked always wants more.
Proverbs 13:23-25
New International Version
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)
