Proverbs
Chapters 19:12-18
New International Version Anglicized
12A king’s rage is like the roar of a lion,but his favour is like dew on the grass.
13A foolish child is a father’s ruin,and a quarrelsome wife is likethe constant dripping of a leaky roof.
14Houses and wealth are inherited from parents,but a prudent wife is from the Lord.
15Laziness brings on deep sleep,and the shiftless go hungry.
16Whoever keeps commandments keeps their life,but whoever shows contempt for their ways will die.
17Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord,and he will reward them for what they have done.
18Discipline your children, for in that there is hope;do not be a willing party to their death.
