The king's wrath [is] as the roaring of a lion; but his favour [is] as dew upon the grass.
A foolish son [is] the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife [are] a continual dropping.
House and riches [are] the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife [is] from the LORD.
Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; [but] he that despiseth his ways shall die.
