Proverbs 19:10-12

New King James Version

¹⁰Luxury is not fitting for a fool,
Much less ^(A)for a servant to rule over princes.

¹¹^(B)The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger,
^(C)And his glory is to overlook a transgression.

¹²^(D)The king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion,
But his favor is ^(E)like dew on the grass.

Proverbs 19:10-12

New International Version

¹⁰It is not fitting for a fool^(A) to live in luxury—
how much worse for a slave to rule over princes!^(B)

¹¹A person’s wisdom yields patience;^(C)
it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense.

¹²A king’s rage is like the roar of a lion,^(D)
but his favor is like dew^(E) on the grass.^(F)
