Proverbs 19:9-16
9A false witnessH5707 shall not be unpunishedH5352;And he that uttereth liesH8267 shall perishH6.10Delicate living is not seemly for a foolH3684;Much less for a servantH5650 to have ruleH4910 over princesH8269.11The discretion of a manH120 maketh him slow to angerH639;And it is his gloryH8597 to passH5674 over a transgressionH6588.12The king’sH4428 wrath is as the roaringH5099 of a lionH3715;But his favorH7522 is as dewH2919 upon the grassH6212.13A foolish sonH1121 is the calamity of his fatherH1;And the contentions of a wifeH802 are a continual dropping.14HouseH1004 and riches are an inheritanceH5159 from fathersH1;But a prudent wifeH802 is from Jehovah.15Slothfulness casteth into a deepH8639 sleepH8639;And the idle soulH5315 shall suffer hungerH7456.16He that keepeth the commandmentH4687 keepeth his soulH5315;But he that is careless of his waysH1870 shall dieH4191.
