Proverbs 19:11-13

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹¹ Good sense makes a man restrain his anger, and it is his glory to overlook a transgression or an offense.

¹² The king’s wrath is as terrifying as the roaring of a lion, but his favor is as [refreshing as] dew upon the grass.^(A)

¹³ A self-confident and foolish son is the [multiplied] calamity of his father, and the contentions of a wife are like a continual dripping [of water through a chink in the roof].
