13A stupid son makes his father miserable, and an argumentative wife is like dripping that never stops.
14You inherit a house and wealth from your father, but a sensible wife is a gift from the Lord.
15Lazy people are often fast asleep, but idleness means they're hungry.
16Keep the commandments, and you'll live; despise them and you'll die.
17If you're kind to the poor, you're lending to the Lord, and he will repay you well for what you've done.
