Read in context

Proverbs 19:10–14 · Berean Standard Bible

10 Luxury is unseemly for a fool— how much worse for a slave to rule over princes!

11 A man’s insight gives him patience, and his virtue is to overlook an offense.

12 A king’s rage is like the roar of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.

13 A foolish son is his father’s ruin, and a quarrelsome wife is like a constant dripping.

14 Houses and wealth are inherited from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the LORD.
