Proverbs 19:9

How To Avoid Fools And Foolishness

⁸ He who gets wisdom has love for his soul: he who keeps good sense will get what is truly good. 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.
