Proverbs 19:7-12 Modern English Version (MEV)

7. All the brothers of the poor hate him;how much more do his friends go far from him!He pursues them with words,yet they abandon him.

8. He who gets wisdom loves his own soul;he who keeps understanding will find good.

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.

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