Proverbs 19:13-15
Complete Jewish Bible

13 A son who is a fool is his father’s ruin,
    and a nagging wife is like a leak that keeps dripping.
14 A house and wealth are inherited from ancestors,
    but a sensible wife is from Adonai.

15 Laziness makes people fall asleep,
    and an idle person will go hungry.
