Proverbs 19:13-14 (KJV) 13 A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping. 14 House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD.
One of the things I feel is true about the Bible is ultimately you see both sides to an issue. You find balance if you keep reading. It’s also very easy to miss the point.
Here we have a good example of two sides of the coin in successive verses. You notice in verse 13 it talks about the nagging wife. That sounds pretty negative. Then in the next verse talks about how the prudent life comes from the Lord. That is the other side of the coin. The Bible does not simplify things to the point of being absurd. It lets you know that life is complicated.
So? As I have said many times, keep reading. You’ll find what you need and you will find it more quickly the more you put into it. God loves to meet with his people.
