14 House and riches are given by parents: but a prudent wife is properly from the Lord.
15 Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep, and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
16 He that keepeth the commandment, keepeth his own soul: but he that neglecteth his own way, shall die.
17 He that hath mercy on the poor, lendeth to the Lord: and he will repay him.
18 Chastise thy son, despair not: but to the killing of him set not thy soul.
19 He that is impatient, shall suffer damage: and when he shall take away he shall add another thing.
20 Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayst be wise in thy latter end.
