Proverbs 19:12

When a king is angry, he is dangerous, like a lion. Stay away from him!

But a king can be calm and quiet. Then it is good to be with him. This is like dew (water) on the grass, when it is cool in the early morning.

v13 A foolish son ruins his father.

A wife who argues is like a constant leak of water.

v14 Parents give houses and wealth.

God gives a wise wife.

v15 A lazy man sleeps.

If he does not work, then he will not be able to buy food.

v16 If you obey the commands, you will live.

If you refuse to obey the commands, you will die.

v17 The man who helps poor people lends to God.

God will reward that man.
