Proverbs 19:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible
10 [a]Pleasure is not comely for a fool, much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
11 The discretion of man deferreth his anger: and his glory is [b]to pass by an offence.
12 (A)The king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion: but his favor is like the dew upon the grass.
