12When a king is angry, that causes people to be afraid of him, like the roar of a lion causes people to be afraid SIM, but if he acts kindly toward people, they like it just like they like dew on the grass in the morning.
13Foolish children can cause disasters to happen to their parents. A wife who constantly ◄nags/quarrels with► her husband is as annoying as water that continually drips MET.
14We can inherit a house or money from our parents when they die, but only Yahweh can give someone a sensible wife.
15Those who are lazy sleep soundly, but if they are lazy, they will be hungry because of not earning money to buy food.
16Those who obey God's commandments will remain alive for a long time; those who despise/disobey them (OR, those who do not control their own conduct) will die while they are still young.
17When we give things to poor people, it is as though we are lending to Yahweh, and he will ◄pay us back/reward us for what we did►.
18Discipline your children while they are young, while you still hope that they will learn to behave as they should; if you do not discipline them, you are helping them to destroy themselves.
