Proverbs 19:13
“A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.”
The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
The king’s wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass.
A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.
House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the Lord.
Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
