Proverbs 19:10-12

Complete Jewish Bible

¹⁰It isn’t fitting for a fool to live in luxury,
and even less for a slave to govern princes.

¹¹People with good sense are slow to anger,
and it is their glory to overlook an offense.

¹²A king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion,
but his favor is like dew on the grass.
