Proverbs 19:13 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

A foolish son, &c. Two things make a man exceeding unhappy, a dissolute son, and a contentious wife: for the former is a perpetual grief to his father, to see him likely to prove the utter destruction of his family; and the quarrels of a wife spoil a man's happiness, like perpetual droppings, which wear away what they fall upon.

Proverbs 19:13

13 A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.
