Proverbs 19:10-12

International Children’s Bible

¹⁰No foolish person should live in luxury.
No slave should rule over princes!

¹¹A wise person is patient.
He will be honored if he ignores a wrong done against him.

¹²A king’s anger scares people like the roar of a lion.
But his kindness is as pleasant as the dew on the grass.
