“Houses and wealth are inherited from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the LORD.”
Proverbs 19:14 (BSB)
Context Reading
12A king’s rage is like the roar of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass. 13A foolish son is his father’s ruin, and a quarrelsome wife is like a constant dripping. 14Houses and wealth are inherited from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the LORD. 15Laziness brings on deep sleep, and an idle soul will suffer hunger. 16He who keeps a commandment preserves his soul, but he who is careless in his ways will die.
