Proverbs 19:9-16

9A falseH8267 witnessH5707 shall notH3808 be unpunishedH5352; and he that uttereth liesH8267 shall perishH6.

10Delicate living is notH3808 seemly for a foolH3684; muchH637 lessH637 for a servantH5650 to have ruleH4910 over princesH8269.

11The discretionH7922 of a manH120 maketh him slowH748 to angerH639; and it is his gloryH8597 to passH5674 over a transgressionH6588.

12The king’sH4428 wrathH5099 is as the roaringH5099 of a lionH3715; but his favour is as dewH2919 uponH5921 the grassH6212.

13A foolishH3684 sonH1121 is the calamityH1942 of his fatherH1: and the contentions of a wifeH802 are a continual dropping.

14HouseH1004 and richesH1952 are an inheritanceH5159 from fathersH1: but a prudent wifeH802 is from the LORDH3068.

15Slothfulness casteth intoH5307 a deepH8639 sleepH8639; and the idle soulH5315 shall sufferH7456 hungerH7456.

16He that keepeth the commandmentH4687 keepeth his soulH5315: but he that is carelessH959 of his waysH1870 shall dieH4191.
