Proverbs 19:9-11
Modern English Version
9 A false witness will not be unpunished,
and he who speaks lies will perish.
10 Delight is not seemly for a fool,
much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
11 The discretion of a man defers his anger,
and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
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.
