Lexham English Bible

11 The understanding of a person makes him slow to his anger,[a]
    and his glory overlooks offense.
12 The rage of a king growls like a lion,
    but his favor is like dew on the grass.
13 A foolish child is a ruin to his father,
    and the quarreling of a woman[b] is a continuous dripping.
