Proverbs

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. ¹⁷He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD, and his good deed will he pay him again. ¹⁸Chasten thy son, seeing there is hope; and set not thy heart on his destruction.
