Proverbs
Chapters 19:9-15
New International Version Anglicized
9A false witness will not go unpunished,and whoever pours out lies will perish.
10It is not fitting for a fool to live in luxury –how much worse for a slave to rule over princes!
11A person’s wisdom yields patience;it is to one’s glory to overlook an offence.
12A king’s rage is like the roar of a lion,but his favour is like dew on the grass.
13A foolish child is a father’s ruin,and a quarrelsome wife is likethe constant dripping of a leaky roof.
14Houses and wealth are inherited from parents,but a prudent wife is from the Lord.
15Laziness brings on deep sleep,and the shiftless go hungry.
