12. A king’s rage is like the roar of a lion,but his favour is like dew on the grass.
13. A foolish child is a father’s ruin,and a quarrelsome wife is likethe constant dripping of a leaky roof.
14. Houses and wealth are inherited from parents,but a prudent wife is from the Lord.
15. Laziness brings on deep sleep,and the shiftless go hungry.
16. Whoever keeps commandments keeps their life,but whoever shows contempt for their ways will die.
17. Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord,and he will reward them for what they have done.
18. Discipline your children, for in that there is hope;do not be a willing party to their death.
