Proverbs 19:9-11
Amplified Bible
9
A false witness will not go unpunished,
And he who breathes lies will perish.
10
Luxury is not fitting for a fool;
Much less for a slave to rule over princes.
11
Good sense and discretion make a man slow to anger,
And it is his honor and glory to overlook a transgression or an offense [without seeking revenge and harboring resentment].
Proverbs 19:9-11
New International Version
9 A false witness will not go unpunished,
and whoever pours out lies will perish.(A)
10 It is not fitting for a fool(B) to live in luxury—
how much worse for a slave to rule over princes!(C)
11 A person’s wisdom yields patience;(D)
it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense.
