Whoever keeps the commandment keeps his life; whoever is careless of his ways will die.
In context
14House and wealth are inherited from fathers, but a prudent wife is from Yahweh. 15Laziness brings on deep sleep, and the slack man goes hungry. 16Whoever keeps the commandment keeps his life; whoever is careless of his ways will die. 17Whoever is kind to the poor lends to Yahweh, and he will repay him for what he has done. 18Discipline your son while there is hope, but do not set your heart on his death.
