9 A false witness shall not be unpunished;and he that speaketh lies shall perish.
10 Delight is not seemly for a fool;much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
11 The discretion of a man deferreth 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 favor is as dew upon the grass.
13 A foolish son is the calamity of his father:and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.
14 House and riches are the inheritance of fathers:and a prudent wife is from the Lord.
15 Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep;and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
