Proverbs 19:12-14

New Catholic Bible

¹² A king’s anger is like the roaring of a lion,
    but his favor is like dew on the grass.
¹³ A foolish son^[a] is a calamity to his father,
    and a nagging wife is like an endless dripping of water.
¹⁴ A house and wealth are inherited from parents,
    but a prudent wife is a gift from the Lord.
