Proverbs 19:9-16

9A false witness shall not be unpunished; and he that uttereth lies shall perish.

10Delicate living is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.

11The discretion of a man maketh him slow to anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.

12The king’s wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass.

13A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.

14House and riches are an inheritance from fathers: but a prudent wife is from the LORD.

15Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and the idle soul shall suffer hunger.

16He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his soul: but he that is careless of his ways shall die.
