Proverbs 19:10

How To Avoid Fools And Foolishness

⁹ A false witness shall not be held innocent, and he that uttereth lies shall perish. ¹⁰ Good living beseemeth not a fool; how much less for a servant to have rule over princes. ¹¹ The discretion of a man maketh him slow to anger, and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
