Proverbs 19:6-11

⁶Many court the favor of kings; But every bad man becomes a reproach to another man.

⁷Every one who hates his poor brother Shall also be far from friendship. Good understanding will draw near to them that know it, And a sensible man will find it. He that does much harm perfects mischief; And he that uses provoking words shall not escape.

⁸He that procures wisdom loves himself; And he that keeps wisdom shall find good.

⁹A false witness shall not be unpunished; And whosoever shall kindle mischief shall perish by it.

¹⁰Delight does not suit a fool, Nor is it seemly if a servant should begin to rule with haughtiness.

¹¹A merciful man is long-suffering; And his triumph overtakes transgressors.
