Proverbs 19:10

How To Avoid Fools And Foolishness

⁹ The false witness shall not go unpunished, and he that speaks lies shall perish. ¹⁰ Luxury is not fitting for a fool;
Much less for a slave to rule over princes.
¹¹ The discretion of a man defers his anger, and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
