11A man's good sense makes him slow to wrath, and the overlooking of wrongdoing is his glory.
12The king's wrath is like the loud cry of a lion, but his approval is like dew on the grass.
13A foolish son is the destruction of his father; and the bitter arguments of a wife are like drops of rain falling without end.
14House and wealth are a heritage from fathers, but a wife with good sense is from the Lord.
15Hate of work sends deep sleep on a man: and he who has no industry will go without food.
