13A foolish son is a calamity to his father, And the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.
14Houses and riches are an inheritance from fathers; But a prudent wife is from the LORD.
15Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep, And the idle person shall suffer hunger.
16He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his life; But he that neglecteth his ways shall die.
17He who hath pity on the poor lendeth to the LORD, And that which he giveth will he repay him.
