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.
22The lust of a man is his shame; and a poor man is better than a liar.
23The fear of the LORD tendeth to life; and he that hath it shall abide satisfied, he shall not be visited with evil.
24The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish, and will not so much as bring it back to his mouth.
25When thou smitest a scorner, the simple will become prudent; and when one that hath understanding is reproved, he will understand knowledge.
26A son that dealeth shamefully and reproachfully will despoil his father, and chase away his mother.
