(箴14:29)12A king’s wrath is like the growling of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass. (诗133:3; 箴14:35; 箴16:14; 箴20:2; 箴28:15; 何14:5; 弥5:7)13A foolish son is ruin to his father, and a wife’s quarreling is a continual dripping of rain.

(诗37:37)21Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand. (伯23:13; 诗33:10; 赛14:26; 赛46:10)22What is desired in a man is steadfast love, and a poor man is better than a liar.23The fear of the Lord leads to life, and whoever has it rests satisfied; he will not be visited by harm.
