Proverbs 19:12-14

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹² As the roaring of a lion, so also is the anger of a king: and his cheerfulness as the dew upon the grass.

¹³ A foolish son is the grief of his father: and a wrangling wife is like a roof continually dropping through.

¹⁴ House and riches are given by parents: but a prudent wife is properly from the Lord.
