Proverbs

¹⁰Delicate living is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes. ¹¹The discretion of a man maketh him slow to anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression. ¹²The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass. ¹³A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping. ¹⁴House and riches are an inheritance from fathers: but a prudent wife is from the LORD. ¹⁵Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and the idle soul shall suffer hunger. ¹⁶He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his soul: but he that is careless of his ways shall die.
