Proverbs 19:9-16

⁹A false witness will be punished; people who tell lies will perish.

¹⁰It's not right for stupid people to live in luxury, and it's even worse for a slave to rule over leaders.

¹¹If you have good sense you'll be slow to get angry; you gain respect by forgiving wrongs.

¹²When a king gets angry, he sounds like a roaring lion; but his kindness is as soft as dew on the grass.

¹³A stupid son makes his father miserable, and an argumentative wife is like dripping that never stops.

¹⁴You inherit a house and wealth from your father, but a sensible wife is a gift from the Lord.

¹⁵Lazy people are often fast asleep, but idleness means they're hungry.

¹⁶Keep the commandments, and you'll live; despise them and you'll die.
