Proverbs 19:13-15
Common English Bible

13 A foolish son is a disaster to his father;
    a contentious wife is like constant dripping.
14 House and riches are an inheritance from one’s ancestors,
    but an insightful wife is from the Lord.
15 Laziness brings on deep sleep;
    a slacker goes hungry.
