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.
18Discipline your son, for there is hope; don’t be a willing party to his death.
19A hot-tempered man must pay the penalty, for if you rescue him, you must do it again.
20Sh'ma ·Hear obey· counsel and receive instruction, that you may be wise in your latter end.
