13A foolish son is the calamity of his father; and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.
14House and riches are the inheritance of fathers; but a prudent wife is from the LORD.
15Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and the idle soul shall suffer hunger.
16He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his soul; but he that despiseth His ways shall die.
17He that is gracious unto the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and his good deed will He repay unto him.
18Chasten thy son, for there is hope; but set not thy heart on his destruction.
19A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment; for if thou interpose, thou wilt add thereto.
20Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
21There are many devices in a man's heart; but the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.
