11 The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger.It is his glory to overlook an offence.
12 The king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion,but his favour is like dew on the grass.
13 A foolish son is the calamity of his father.A wife’s quarrels are a continual dripping.
14 House and riches are an inheritance from fathers,but a prudent wife is from the Lord.
15 Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep.The idle soul shall suffer hunger.
16 He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul,but he who is contemptuous in his ways shall die.
17 He who has pity on the poor lends to the Lord;he will reward him.
