12 The rage of a king growls like a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.
13 A foolish child is a ruin to his father, and the quarreling of a woman is a continuous dripping.
14 A house and wealth are an inheritance from fathers, but from Yahweh comes a woman who is prudent.
15 Laziness will bring on a deep sleep, and a person of idleness will suffer hunger.
16 He who guards commandments guards his life; he who is careless of his ways will be killed.
17 He who lends to Yahweh is he who is kind to the poor, and his benefits he will repay to him.
18 Discipline your child, for there is hope, but on his destruction do not set your desire.
