Proverbs 19:9-17

⁹A false witness shall not remain unpunished, and he that uttereth lies shall perish.

¹⁰Delicacy is not seemly for a fool: much less for a servant to have rule over princes.

¹¹It is intelligence in man to be slow in his anger, and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.

¹²Like the roaring of a young lion is the wrath of a king: as dew upon the herbs is his favor.

¹³A calamity unto his father is a foolish son; and a continual dropping are the quarrels of a wife.

¹⁴House and wealth are an inheritance from fathers; but from the Lord cometh an intelligent wife.

¹⁵Slothfulness casteth man into a deep sleep; and an indolent soul will suffer hunger.

¹⁶He that observeth the commandment guardeth his own soul: but he that disregardeth directing his ways aright shall die.

¹⁷He lendeth unto the Lord that is liberal to the poor, and his good deed will he repay unto him.
