8He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul; he that keepeth understanding shall find good.
9A false witness shall not be unpunished; and he that breatheth forth lies shall perish.
10Luxury is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
11It is the discretion of a man to be slow to anger, and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
12The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass.
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.
