Proverbs 19:10

How To Avoid Fools And Foolishness

⁹ A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who utters lies shall perish. ¹⁰ Delicate living is not appropriate for a fool, much less for a servant to have rule over princes. ¹¹ The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger. It is his glory to overlook an offense.
