Proverbs 19:9-11
Legacy Standard Bible

9 A [a](A)false witness will not go unpunished,
And he who breathes out lies will perish.
10 Luxury is (B)not fitting for a fool;
Much less for a (C)slave to rule over princes.
11 A man’s (D)insight makes him slow to anger,
And it is his honor (E)to overlook a transgression.
