11. The understanding of a person makes him slow to his anger, and his glory overlooks offense.

12. The rage of a king growls like a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.

13. A foolish child is a ruin to his father, and the quarreling of a woman is a continuous dripping.

14. A house and wealth are an inheritance from fathers, but from Yahweh comes a woman who is prudent.

15. Laziness will bring on a deep sleep, and a person of idleness will suffer hunger.

16. He who guards commandments guards his life; he who is careless of his ways will be killed.
