Proverbs 19:9-16

9A false witness will not go unpunished, And he who speaks lies shall perish.

10Luxury is not fitting for a fool, Much less for a servant to rule over princes.

11The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger, And his glory is to overlook a transgression.

12The king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion, But his favor is like dew on the grass.

13A foolish son is the ruin of his father, And the contentions of a wife are a continual dripping.

14Houses and riches are an inheritance from fathers, But a prudent wife is from the Lord.

15Laziness casts one into a deep sleep, And an idle person will suffer hunger.

16He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul, But he who is careless of his ways will die.
