Proverbs 19:8-16 God's Word Translation (GW)

8. A person who gains sense loves himself.One who guards understanding finds something good.

9. A lying witness will not go unpunished.One who tells lies will die.

10. Luxury does not fit a fool,much less a slave ruling princes.

11. A person with good sense is patient,and it is to his credit that he overlooks an offense.

12. The rage of a king is like the roar of a lion,but his favor is like dew on the grass.

13. A foolish son ruins his father,and a quarreling woman is like constantly dripping water.

14. Home and wealth are inherited from fathers,but a sensible wife comes from the Lord.

15. Laziness throws one into a deep sleep,and an idle person will go hungry.

16. Whoever obeys the law preserves his life,⌊but⌋ whoever despises the Lord’s ways will be put to death.
