Proverbs 19:13-15

Contemporary English Version

¹³ Foolish children bring disgrace
    to their fathers.
A nagging wife goes on and on
like the drip, drip, drip
    of the rain.
¹⁴ You may inherit all you own
    from your parents,
but a sensible wife
    is a gift from the Lord.
¹⁵ If you are lazy
and sleep your time away,
    you will starve.
