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.
