13
A foolish son is the destruction of his father; and the bitter arguments of a wife are like drops of rain falling without end.
14
House and wealth are a heritage from fathers, but a wife with good sense is from the Lord.
15
Hate of work sends deep sleep on a man: and he who has no industry will go without food.
16
He who keeps the law keeps his soul; but death will be the fate of him who takes no note of the word.
17
He who has pity on the poor gives to the Lord, and the Lord will give him his reward.
18
Give your son training while there is hope; let not your heart be purposing his death.
19
A man of great wrath will have to take his punishment: for if you get him out of trouble you will have to do it again.
20
Let your ear be open to suggestion and take teaching, so that at the end you may be wise.
21
A man's heart may be full of designs, but the purpose of the Lord is unchanging.
22
The ornament of a man is his mercy, and a poor man is better than one who is false.
23
The fear of the Lord gives life: and he who has it will have need of nothing; no evil will come his way.
