Proverbs 19:10-12
Expanded Bible
10 A fool should not live in luxury.
A slave should not rule over princes [Eccl. 10:5–7].
11 The ·wise [insightful] ·are patient [L hold in their anger];
they will be ·honored [praised; glorified] if they ignore ·insults [offenses].
12 An angry king is like a ·roaring [growling] lion,
but his ·kindness [favor] is like the dew on the grass.
Proverbs 19:10-12
New International Version
10 It is not fitting for a fool(A) to live in luxury—
how much worse for a slave to rule over princes!(B)
11 A person’s wisdom yields patience;(C)
it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense.
