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 Yahweh. 15Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep.The idle soul shall suffer hunger. 16He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul,but he who is contemptuous in his ways shall die. 17He who has pity on the poor lends to Yahweh;he will reward him.
