Proverbs 19:13

The Message

¹³A parent is worn to a frazzle by an irresponsible child;
a nagging spouse is a leaky faucet.

Proverbs 19:13

New International Version

¹³A foolish child is a father’s ruin,^(A)
and a quarrelsome wife is like
the constant dripping of a leaky roof.^(B)

¹³A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.
