Proverbs 19:10-15 American Standard Version (ASV)

10. Delicate living is not seemly for a fool; Much less for a servant to have rule over princes.

11. The discretion of a man maketh him slow to anger; And it is his glory to pass over a transgression.

12. The king’s wrath is as the roaring of a lion; But his favor is as dew upon the grass.

13. A foolish son is the calamity of his father; And the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.

14. House and riches are an inheritance from fathers; But a prudent wife is from Jehovah.

15. Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; And the idle soul shall suffer hunger.
