Proverbs 19:9-16

9A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who breathes out lies will perish.

10It is not fitting for a fool to live in luxury, much less for a slave to rule over princes.

11Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense.

12A king's wrath is like the growling of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.

13A foolish son is ruin to his father, and a wife's quarreling is a continual dripping of rain.

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

15Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep, and an idle person will suffer hunger.

16Whoever keeps the commandment keeps his life; he who despises his ways will die.
