Proverbs 19:10

How To Avoid Fools And Foolishness

⁹ A FALSE witness shall not be unpunished, and he who utters lies shall perish. ¹⁰ Luxurious living is not fitting for a fool, much less for a servant to have rule over rulers. ¹¹ The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger, and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
