Proverbs 19:14 Context
12The kings wrath is as the roaring of a lyon: but his fauour is as dewe vpon the grasse. 13A foolish sonne is the calamity of his father; and the contentions of a wife are a continuall dropping. 14House and riches, are the inheritance of fathers; and a prudent wife is from the Lord. 15Slouthfulnesse casteth into a deep sleepe: and an idle soule shall suffer hunger. 16He that keepeth the commandement, keepeth his owne soule: but hee that despiseth his wayes, shall die.
