It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer: but when he is gone his way, then he boasteth.

Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.

Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD.

A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.

The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.
