Proverbs 19:9-16

9A false witness will not go unpunished, and the one who spouts out lies will perish.

10Luxury is not appropriate for a fool; how much less for a servant to rule over princes!

11A person’s wisdom makes him slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense.

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

13A foolish child is the ruin of his father, and a contentious wife is like a constant dripping.

14A house and wealth are inherited from parents, but a prudent wife is from the Lord.

15Laziness brings on a deep sleep, and the idle person will go hungry.

16The one who obeys commandments guards his life; the one who despises his ways will die.
