Verse 13 is found in chapter 19 of Proverbs. Prudence is shown by controlling anger and overlooking an offense. In contrast, a king’s anger can be dangerous and his favor like dew. Laziness receives direct criticism because desire without action produces nothing. The passage ends by stating that what makes a person desirable is steadfast love, showing that moral worth surpasses appearance or wealth.

Ein törichter Sohn ist seines Vaters Herzeleid, und ein zänkisches Weib ein stetiges Triefen.
Dolor es para su padre el hijo necio; Y gotera continua las contiendas de la mujer.
Un fils insensé est une calamité pour son père, Et les querelles d'une femme sont une gouttière sans fin.
Il figliuolo stolto è una grande sciagura a suo padre; E le risse della moglie sono un gocciolar continuo
O filho insensato é uma desgraça para o pai, e um gotejar contínuo as contendas da mulher.
愚昧的兒子是父親的禍患, 妻子的爭吵如雨連連滴漏。
