Context of Proverbs 19:9
7All the brothers of a poor man hate him; How much more do his friends abandon him! He pursues them with words, but they are gone. 8He who gets wisdom loves his own soul; He who keeps understanding will find good. A false witness will not go unpunished, And he who tells lies will perish. 10Luxury is not fitting for a fool; Much less for a slave to rule over princes. 11A man’s discretion makes him slow to anger, And it is his glory to overlook a transgression.
