Proverbs 19:9

How To Avoid Fools And Foolishness

⁸ The one who acquires good sense loves himself;
one who safeguards understanding finds success. ⁹ A false witness will not go unpunished,
and one who utters lies perishes. ¹⁰ Luxury is not appropriate for a fool—
how much less for a slave to rule over princes!
