11
1Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense.
12
A king's wrath is like 2the growling of a lion, but his 3favor is like 4dew on the grass.
13
5A foolish son is ruin to his father, and 6a wife's quarreling is 7a continual dripping of rain.
14
8House and wealth are inherited from fathers, but a prudent wife is 9from the LORD.
15
10Slothfulness casts into 11a deep sleep, and 12an idle person will suffer hunger.
16
Whoever 13keeps the commandment keeps his life; he who despises his ways will die.
17
14Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the LORD, and he 15will repay him for his 16deed.
18
17Discipline your son, for there is hope; do not set your heart on 18putting 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 19the future.
21
20Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but 21it is the purpose of the LORD 22 that will stand.
