New Testament

Proverbs 19:12-16 English Standard Version (ESV)

12. A king’s wrath is like the growling of a lion,but his favor is like dew on the grass.

13. A foolish son is ruin to his father,and a wife’s quarreling is a continual dripping of rain.

14. House and wealth are inherited from fathers,but a prudent wife is from the Lord.

15. Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep,and an idle person will suffer hunger.

16. Whoever keeps the commandment keeps his life;he who despises his ways will die.
