Proverbs 19:14 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 19:14

12 ^aThe king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion,
But his favor is ^blike dew on the grass.

13 ^aA foolish son is the ruin of his father,
^bAnd the contentions of a wife are a continual¹ dripping.

14 ^aHouses and riches are an inheritance from fathers,
But ^ba prudent wife is from the Lord.

15 ^aLaziness casts one into a deep sleep,
And an idle person will ^bsuffer hunger.

16 ^aHe who keeps the commandment keeps his soul,
But he who¹ is careless of his ways will die.
