Proverbs 19:10

How To Avoid Fools And Foolishness

⁹ A false witness is not acquitted, And whoso breatheth out lies perisheth. ¹⁰ Luxury is not comely for a fool, Much less for a servant to rule among princes. ¹¹ The wisdom of a man hath deferred his anger, And his glory is to pass over transgression.
