Proverbs 19:10-12
Lexham English Bible
10 For a fool living in luxury is not fitting,
any more than it is for a slave to rule over princes.
11 The understanding of a person makes him slow to his anger,[a]
and his glory overlooks offense.
12 The rage of a king growls like a lion,
but his favor is like dew on the grass.
