Proverbs 19:10–20

10  nIt is not fitting for a fool to live in luxury,

much less for oa slave to rule over princes.

11  pGood sense makes one slow to anger,

and it is his glory to overlook an offense.

12  A king’s wrath is like qthe growling of a lion,

but his rfavor is like sdew on the grass.

13  tA foolish son is ruin to his father,

and ua wife’s quarreling is va continual dripping of rain.

14  wHouse and wealth are inherited from fathers,

but a prudent wife is xfrom the Lord.

15  ySlothfulness casts into za deep sleep,

and aan idle person will suffer hunger.

16  Whoever bkeeps the commandment keeps his life;

he who despises his ways will die.

17  cWhoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord,

and he dwill repay him for his edeed.

18  fDiscipline your son, for there is hope;

do not set your heart on gputting him to death.

19  A man of great wrath will pay the penalty,

for if you deliver him, you will only have to do it again.

20  Listen to advice and accept instruction,

that you may gain wisdom in hthe future.
