14 Houses and riches are the inheritance from fathers, But an understanding wife is from יהוה.
15 Laziness makes one fall into a deep sleep, And an idle being suffers hunger.
16 He who guards the command guards his life, He who despises His ways dies.
17 He who shows favour to the poor lends to יהוה, And He repays his deed.
18 Discipline your son because there is expectation, And do not set your being on his destruction.
19 One of great wrath bears punishment; For if you rescue him, You only have to do it again.
20 Listen to counsel and accept discipline, So that you are wise in your latter end.
