¹²^(A)The king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion,
But his favor is ^(B)like dew on the grass.

¹³^(C)A foolish son is the ruin of his father,
^(D)And the contentions of a wife are a continual ^[a]dripping.

¹⁴^(E)Houses and riches are an inheritance from fathers,
But ^(F)a prudent wife is from the Lord.
