9 A false witness does not go unpunished, And he who breathes out lies perishes.
10 Luxury is not fitting for a fool, Much less for a servant to rule over princes.
11 A man’s discretion makes him patient, And his adorning is to pass over a transgression.
12 The sovereign’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion, But his delight is like dew on the grass.
13 A foolish son is a calamity to his father, And the contentions of a wife are a continual dripping.
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.
