Proverbs 19:9-20 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

9. A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaks lies shall perish.

10. Luxury is not fitting for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.

11. The discretion of a man delays his anger; and it is his glory to overlook a transgression.

12. The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favor is as dew upon the grass.

13. A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dripping.

14. House and riches are the inheritance from fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD.

15. Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

16. He that keeps the commandment keeps his own soul; but he that despises his ways shall die.

17. He that has pity upon the poor lends unto the LORD; and that which he has given will he pay him again.

18. Chasten your son while there is hope, and let not your soul spare for his crying.

19. A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if you deliver him, yet you must do it again.

20. Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that you may be wise in your latter days.
