Proverbs 19:13

American Standard Version 2015

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

See the chapter Copy

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

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

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

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

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

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

He that begetteth a fool {\i doeth it} to his sorrow;\par\tab And the father of a fool hath no joy.

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

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

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