Proverbs 19:13-15

Good News Translation

¹³ Stupid children can bring their parents to ruin. A nagging wife is like water going drip-drip-drip.

¹⁴ A man can inherit a house and money from his parents, but only the Lord can give him a sensible wife.

¹⁵ Go ahead and be lazy; sleep on, but you will go hungry.
