Proverbs 19:14-16
Amplified Bible
14
House and wealth are the inheritance from fathers,
But a wise, understanding, and sensible wife is [a gift and blessing] from the Lord.(A)
15
Laziness casts one into a deep sleep [unmindful of lost opportunity],
And the idle person will suffer hunger.
16
He who keeps and obeys the commandment [of the Lord] keeps (guards) his own life,
But he who is careless of his ways and conduct will die.(B)
Proverbs 19:14-16
New International Version
15 Laziness brings on deep sleep,
and the shiftless go hungry.(C)
16 Whoever keeps commandments keeps their life,
but whoever shows contempt for their ways will die.(D)
