Proverbs 19:15

A Foolish Son Brings Ruin To Others

¹⁴
House and wealth are the inheritance from fathers,
But a wise, understanding, and sensible wife is [a gift and blessing] from the Lord.
¹⁵ 
Laziness casts one into a deep sleep [unmindful of lost opportunity],
And the idle person will suffer hunger.
¹⁶
He who keeps and obeys the commandment [of the Lord] keeps (guards) his own life,
But he who is careless of his ways and conduct will die.
