9 Dishonest witnesses and liarswill be destroyed.
10 It isn't right for a foolto live in luxuryor for a slave to rulein place of a king.
11 It's wise to be patientand show what you are likeby forgiving others.
12 An angry king roarslike a lion,but when a king is pleased,it's like dew on the crops.
13 A foolish son brings disgraceto his father.A nagging wife goes on and onlike the drip, drip, dripof the rain.
14 You may inherit all you ownfrom your parents,but a sensible wifeis a gift from the Lord.
15 If you are lazyand sleep your time away,you will starve.
