Proverbs 19:13

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.

The proverbs of Solomon.

A wise son makes a father glad,

But a foolish son is a grief to his mother.

A wise son makes a father glad,
But a foolish man despises his mother.

He who sires a fool does so to his sorrow,
And the father of a fool has no joy.

Thus I hated all the fruit of my labor for which I had labored under the sun, for I must leave it to the man who will come after me.

It is better to live in a corner of a roof
Than in a house shared with a contentious woman.

It is better to live in a corner of the roof
Than in a house shared with a contentious woman.

A constant dripping on a day of steady rain
And a contentious woman are alike;

Water wears away stones,
Its torrents wash away the dust of the earth;
So You destroy man’s hope.

A foolish son is a grief to his father
And bitterness to her who bore him.

It is better to live in a corner of the roof
Than in a house shared with a contentious woman.

The disciples *said to Him, “If the relationship of the man with his wife is like this, it is better not to marry.”
