Proverbs 19:9-16

9A false witness will not go unpunished, and one who breathes lies will perish.

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

11Prudence makes one slow to anger and his glory is to overlook an offense.

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

13A foolish son is trouble for his father, and a quarrelsome wife is constant dripping.

14House and wealth are an inheritance from fathers, but a prudent wife is from Adonai.

15Laziness brings on deep sleep, and an idle soul will starve.

16One who keeps a mitzvah guards his soul, but one who neglects His ways will die.
