Proverbs 19:9-16

9A false witness will not go unpunished, and one who utters lies perishes.

10Luxury is not appropriate for a fool — how much less for a slave to rule over princes!

11A person’s insight gives him patience, and his virtue is to overlook an offense.

12A king’s rage is like the roaring of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.

13A foolish son is his father’s ruin, and a wife’s nagging is an endless dripping.

14A house and wealth are inherited from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the Lord.

15Laziness induces deep sleep, and a lazy person will go hungry.

16The one who keeps commands preserves himself; one who disregards his ways will die.
