Proverbs 19:10-16

¹⁰Material comfort is not good for the foolish; much less for a servant to be put over rulers.

¹¹A man's good sense makes him slow to wrath, and the overlooking of wrongdoing is his glory.

¹²The king's wrath is like the loud cry of a lion, but his approval is like dew on the grass.

¹³A foolish son is the destruction of his father; and the bitter arguments of a wife are like drops of rain falling without end.

¹⁴House and wealth are a heritage from fathers, but a wife with good sense is from the Lord.

¹⁵Hate of work sends deep sleep on a man: and he who has no industry will go without food.

¹⁶He who keeps the law keeps his soul; but death will be the fate of him who takes no note of the word.
