Proverbs 19:10-12
Modern English Version
10 Delight is not seemly for a fool,
much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
11 The discretion of a man defers his anger,
and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
12 The king’s wrath is as the roaring of a lion,
but his favor is as dew upon 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.
