Proverbs 19:12


Proverbs 19:11 Proverbs 19:12 (KJV) Proverbs 19:13
The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and [it is] his glory to pass over a transgression.
The king's wrath [is] as the roaring of a lion; but his favour [is] as dew upon the grass.
A foolish son [is] the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife [are] a continual dropping.
