10 Luxury is not fitting for a fool,Much less for a servant to rule over princes.
11 The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger,And his glory is to overlook a transgression.
12 The king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion,But his favor is like dew on the grass.
13 A foolish son is the ruin of his father,And the contentions of a wife are a continual dripping.
14 Houses and riches are an inheritance from fathers,But a prudent wife is from the Lord.
15 Laziness casts one into a deep sleep,And an idle person will suffer hunger.
16 He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul,But he who is careless of his ways will die.
