Proverbs 19:14-16
GOD’S WORD Translation

14 Home and wealth are inherited from fathers,
but a sensible wife comes from the Lord.

15 Laziness throws one into a deep sleep,
and an idle person will go hungry.
16 Whoever obeys the law preserves his life,
⌞but⌟ whoever despises the Lord’s ways will be put to death.
