Proverbs 19:11-13

New International Reader's Version

¹¹ A person’s wisdom makes them patient.
    They will be honored if they forgive someone who sins against them.

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.
