Proverbs 19:12-14

Easy-to-Read Version

¹² The shouts of an angry king are like a roaring lion, but his kind words are like a gentle rain falling softly on the grass.

¹³ A foolish son brings a flood of troubles to his father, and a complaining wife is like the constant dripping of water.

¹⁴ People receive houses and money from their parents, but a good wife is a gift from the Lord.
