Proverbs 19:10-12

New International Reader's Version

¹⁰It isn’t proper for a foolish person to live in great comfort.
And it is much worse when a slave rules over princes!

¹¹A person’s wisdom makes them patient.
They will be honored if they forgive someone who sins against them.

¹²A king’s anger is like a lion’s roar.
But his favor is like dew on the grass.
