Proverbs 19:13

King James Version (Oxford) 1769

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 a corner of the housetop, Than with a brawling 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 brawling woman and in a wide house.

It is better to dwell in the wilderness, Than with a contentious and an angry 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: Thou washest away the things which grow out of the dust of the earth; And 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.
