Proverbs 19:12

How To Avoid Fools And Foolishness

¹¹ A man’s discretion makes him slow to anger,
And it is his glory to overlook a transgression.
¹² The king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion,
But his favor is like dew on the grass.
¹³ A foolish son is destruction to his father,
And the contentions of a wife are a constant dripping.
