New Century Version

Proverbs 19:10-14 New Century Version (NCV)

10. A fool should not live in luxury.A slave should not rule over princes.

11. The wise are patient;they will be honored if they ignore insults.

12. An angry king is like a roaring lion,but his kindness is like the dew on the grass.

13. A foolish child brings disaster to a father,and a quarreling wife is like dripping water.

14. Houses and wealth are inherited from parents,but a wise wife is a gift from the Lord.
