14 House and land are handed down from parents,but a congenial spouse comes straight from God.
15 Life collapses on loafers;lazybones go hungry.
16 Keep the rules and keep your life;careless living kills.
17 Mercy to the needy is a loan to God,and God pays back those loans in full.
18 Discipline your children while you still have the chance;indulging them destroys them.
19 Let angry people endure the backlash of their own anger;if you try to make it better, you’ll only make it worse.
20 Take good counsel and accept correction—that’s the way to live wisely and well.
