Proverbs 19:12–16 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

15 Laziness brings on deep sleep, and an idle soul will suffer hunger.

16 He who keeps a commandment preserves his soul, but he who is careless in his ways will die.
