Proverbs 19:9-16

9A false witness shall not be held innocent, and he that uttereth lies shall perish.

10Good living beseemeth not a fool; how much less for a servant to have rule over princes.

11The discretion of a man maketh him slow to anger, and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.

12The king's displeasure is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass.

13A foolish son is the calamity of his father; and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.

14House and wealth are an inheritance from fathers; but a prudent wife is from Jehovah.

15Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep, and the idle soul shall suffer hunger.

16He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his soul; he that is careless of his ways shall die.
