Proverbs 19:11-13
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
11 Those with good sense are slow to anger,
and it is their glory to overlook an offense.
12 A king’s anger is like the growling of a lion,
but his favor is like dew on the grass.
13 A stupid child is ruin to a father,
and a wife’s quarreling is a continual dripping of rain.
Proverbs 19:11-13
