11 The discretion of a man defers his anger, and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
12 The king’s wrath is as the roaring of a lion, but his favour is as dew upon the grass.
13 A foolish son is a pain unto his father, and the contentions of a wife are a continual dripping.
14 House and riches are the inheritance from fathers, but the prudent wife is from the Lord.
15 Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep, and the negligent soul shall suffer hunger.
16 He that keeps the commandment keeps his own soul, but he that despises his ways shall die.
17 He that gives unto the poor lends unto the Lord, and he will give him his reward.
