14. House and riches are given by parents: but a prudent wife is properly from the Lord.
15. Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep, and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
16. He that keepeth the commandment, keepeth his own soul: but he that neglecteth his own way, shall die.
17. He that hath mercy on the poor, lendeth to the Lord: and he will repay him.
18. Chastise thy son, despair not: but to the killing of him set not thy soul.
19. He that is impatient, shall suffer damage: and when he shall take away he shall add another thing.
20. Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayst be wise in thy latter end.
21. There are many thoughts in the heart of a man: but the will of the Lord shall stand firm.
22. A needy man is merciful: and better is the poor than the lying man.
23. The fear of the Lord is unto life: and he shall abide in fulness without being visited with evil.
