A wicked wife, a false friend, a saucy servant and living in a house with a serpent in it are nothing but death.
Trees on a riverbank, a woman in another man's house, and kings without counselors go without doubt to swift destruction.
Foolishness is indeed painful, and verily so is youth, but more painful by far than either is being obliged in another person's house.
The house of a childless person is a void, all directions are void to one who has no relatives, the heart of a fool is also void, but to a poverty stricken man all is void.
