Proverbs 19:10

How To Avoid Fools And Foolishness

⁹ A false witness will not go without punishment, and the breather out of deceit will be cut off. ¹⁰ Material comfort is not good for the foolish; much less for a servant to be put over rulers. ¹¹ A man's good sense makes him slow to wrath, and the overlooking of wrongdoing is his glory.
