12 ^aThe king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion,
But his favor is ^blike dew on the grass. ‡

13 ^aA foolish son is the ruin of his father,
^bAnd the contentions of a wife are a continual¹ dripping. ‡

15 ^aLaziness casts one into a deep sleep,
And an idle person will ^bsuffer hunger. ‡

16 ^aHe who keeps the commandment keeps his soul,
But he who¹ is careless of his ways will die. ‡
