Proverbs 19:12-14

Young's Literal Translation

¹²The wrath of a king [is] a growl as of a young lion, And as dew on the herb his good-will.

¹³A calamity to his father [is] a foolish son, And the contentions of a wife [are] a continual dropping.

¹⁴House and wealth [are] the inheritance of fathers, And from Jehovah [is] an understanding wife.
