Proverbs 19:9-11

Young's Literal Translation

⁹A false witness is not acquitted, And whoso breatheth out lies perisheth.

¹⁰Luxury is not comely for a fool, Much less for a servant to rule among princes.

¹¹The wisdom of a man hath deferred his anger, And his glory [is] to pass over transgression.

Proverbs 19:9-11

New International Version

⁹A false witness will not go unpunished,
and whoever pours out lies will perish.^(A)

¹⁰It is not fitting for a fool^(B) to live in luxury—
how much worse for a slave to rule over princes!^(C)

¹¹A person’s wisdom yields patience;^(D)
it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense.
