Proverbs 19:9-16

9A lying witness will not go unpunished. One who tells lies will die.

10Luxury does not fit a fool, much less a slave ruling princes.

11A person with good sense is patient, and it is to his credit that he overlooks an offense.

12The rage of a king is like the roar of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.

13A foolish son ruins his father, and a quarreling woman is like constantly dripping water.

14Home and wealth are inherited from fathers, but a sensible wife comes from the Lord.

15Laziness throws one into a deep sleep, and an idle person will go hungry.

16Whoever obeys the law preserves his life, ⌞but⌟ whoever despises the Lord’s ways will be put to death.
