10Delicate living is not appropriate for a fool, much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
11The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger. It is his glory to overlook an offense.
12The king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.
13A foolish son is the calamity of his father. A wife’s quarrels are a continual dripping.
14House and riches are an inheritance from fathers, but a prudent wife is from Adonai .
15Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep. The idle soul shall suffer hunger.
16He who keeps a mitzvah ·instruction· keeps his soul, but he who is contemptuous in his ways shall die.
17He who has pity on the poor lends to Adonai ; he will reward him.
