Proverbs 19:10-12

Living Bible

¹⁰It doesn’t seem right for a fool to succeed or for a slave to rule over princes!

¹¹A wise man restrains his anger and overlooks insults. This is to his credit.

¹²The king’s anger is as dangerous as a lion’s. But his approval is as refreshing as the dew on grass.

Proverbs 19:10-12

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)
