Proverbs 19:13

The Passion Translation

A rebellious son breaks a father’s heart, and a nagging wife can drive you crazy!

See the chapter Copy

The wisdom of Solomon: When wisdom comes to a son, joy comes to a father. When a son turns from wisdom, a mother grieves.

When a son learns wisdom, a father’s heart is glad. But the man who shames his mother is a foolish son.

A dear friend will love you no matter what, and a family sticks together through all kinds of trouble.

Parents of a numbskull will have many sorrows, for there’s nothing about his lifestyle that will make them proud.

A father grieves over the foolishness of his child, and bitter sorrow fills his mother.

It’s better to live in a hut in the wilderness than with a crabby, scolding spouse!

It’s better to live all alone in a rickety shack than to share a castle with a crabby spouse!

It’s better to live all alone in a rundown shack than to share a castle with a crabby spouse!

An endless drip, drip, drip, from a leaky faucet and the words of a cranky, nagging wife have the same effect.
