Proverbs 19:10-12

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁰ A life of luxury is not appropriate for a fool.
How much less appropriate for a slave to rule over princes.
¹¹ Good sense makes a person slow to anger,
and it is to his credit when he overlooks an offense.
¹² The king’s anger is like a lion’s growl,
but his favor is refreshing like dew on the grass.
