Proverbs 19:12-14

New International Reader's Version

¹² A king’s anger is like a lion’s roar.
    But his favor is like dew on the grass.

¹³ A foolish child is a father’s ruin.
    A nagging wife is like dripping that never stops.

¹⁴ You will receive houses and wealth from your parents.
    But a wise wife is given by the Lord.
