Context of Proverbs 19:15
13A foolish son is destruction to his father, And the contentions of a wife are a constant dripping. 14House and wealth are an inheritance from fathers, But a prudent wife is from the Lord. Laziness casts into a deep sleep, And an idle man will suffer hunger. 16He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul, But he who is careless of conduct will die. 17One who is gracious to a poor man lends to the Lord, And He will repay him for his good deed.
