New King James Version

Proverbs 19:9-13 New King James Version (NKJV)

9. A false witness will not go unpunished,And he who speaks lies shall perish.

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

11. The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger,And his glory is to overlook a transgression.

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

13. A foolish son is the ruin of his father,And the contentions of a wife are a continual dripping.
