Proverbs 19:12-14

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹² A king’s anger is like the growling of a lion,
    but his favor is like dew on the grass.
¹³ A stupid child is ruin to a father,
    and a wife’s quarreling is a continual dripping of rain.
¹⁴ House and wealth are inherited from parents,
    but a prudent wife is from the Lord.
