13A foolish sonne is the calamity of his father; and the contentions of a wife are a continuall dropping. 14House and riches, are the inheritance of fathers; and a prudent wife is from the Lord. 15Slouthfulnesse casteth into a deep sleepe: and an idle soule shall suffer hunger. 16He that keepeth the commandement, keepeth his owne soule: but hee that despiseth his wayes, shall die. 17Hee that hath pity vpon the poore, lendeth vnto the Lord; and that which he hath giuen, will he pay him againe.
