In context
12 The wrath of a king is a growl as of a young lion, And as dew on the herb his good-will.
13 A calamity to his father is a foolish son, And the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.
14 House and wealth are the inheritance of fathers, And from Jehovah is an understanding wife.
15 Sloth causeth deep sleep to fall, And an indolent soul doth hunger.
16 Whoso is keeping the command is keeping his soul, Whoso is despising His ways dieth.
17 Whoso is lending to Jehovah is favouring the poor, And his deed He repayeth to him.
18 Chastise thy son, for there is hope, And to put him to death lift not up thy soul.
