Proverbs 19:10

How To Avoid Fools And Foolishness

⁹ A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who breathes out lies will perish. ¹⁰ Luxury is not fitting for a fool;
Much less for a slave to rule over princes.
¹¹ Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense.
