12. The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favor is as dew upon the grass.
13. A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dripping.
14. House and riches are the inheritance from fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD.
15. Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
16. He that keeps the commandment keeps his own soul; but he that despises his ways shall die.
17. He that has pity upon the poor lends unto the LORD; and that which he has given will he pay him again.
18. Chasten your son while there is hope, and let not your soul spare for his crying.
