Proverbs 19:11-13

International Standard Version

¹¹A person’s discretion makes him slow to anger,
and it is to his credit that he ignores an offence.

¹²The king’s anger is like the roaring of a lion,
but his goodwill is like dew on the grass.

¹³A father’s ruin is a foolish son,
and a wife’s quarreling is like^[a] dripping water that never stops.
