Context of Proverbs 19:19

17If you help the poor, you are lending to the Lord— and he will repay you! 18Discipline your children while there is hope. Otherwise you will ruin their lives. Hot-tempered people must pay the penalty. If you rescue them once, you will have to do it again. 20Get all the advice and instruction you can, so you will be wise the rest of your life. 21You can make many plans, but the Lord’s purpose will prevail.
