“He who keeps a commandment preserves his soul, but he who is careless in his ways will die.”
Proverbs 19:16 (BSB)
Context Reading
14Houses and wealth are inherited from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the LORD. 15Laziness brings on deep sleep, and an idle soul will suffer hunger. 16He who keeps a commandment preserves his soul, but he who is careless in his ways will die. 17Kindness to the poor is a loan to the LORD, and He will repay the lender. 18Discipline your son, for in that there is hope; do not be party to his death.
