Proverbs 19:13

American Standard Version (1901)

A foolish son is the calamity of his father; And the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.

See the chapter Copy

A continual dropping in a very rainy day And a contentious woman are alike:

It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, Than with a contentious woman in a wide house.

The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father; But a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.

It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, Than with a contentious woman in a wide house.

It is better to dwell in a desert land, Than with a contentious and fretful woman.

A foolish son is a grief to his father, And bitterness to her that bare him.

He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow; And the father of a fool hath no joy.

The waters wear the stones; The overflowings thereof wash away the dust of the earth: So thou destroyest the hope of man.

A wise son maketh a glad father; But a foolish man despiseth his mother.

A friend loveth at all times; And a brother is born for adversity.
