13. A foolish son is the calamity of his father; and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.
14. House and wealth are an inheritance from fathers; but a prudent wife is from Jehovah.
15. Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep, and the idle soul shall suffer hunger.
16. He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his soul; he that is careless of his ways shall die.
17. He that is gracious to the poor lendeth unto Jehovah; and what he hath bestowed will he repay unto him.
18. Chasten thy son, seeing there is hope; but set not thy soul upon killing him.
