Context of Proverbs 19:9
7If someone is poor, all his family hate him. His friends stay away from him. Even if he goes to ask them for help, he cannot find them anywhere. 8If you learn to be wise, it shows that you love yourself. If you understand what is right, you will do well. If you tell lies in court, the judge will certainly punish you. That will be the end of you! 10Fools should not live like rich people. Even worse, slaves should never have authority over rulers. 11If someone is wise, he controls his anger. When anyone hurts him, he is careful to forget it.
