Proverbs 19:8-11 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

8. Anyone who gets wisdom loves himself. Anyone who values understanding succeeds.

9. A dishonest witness will be punished. And those who pour out lies will die.

10. It isn't proper for a foolish person to live in great comfort. And it is much worse when a slave rules over princes!

11. A man's wisdom makes him patient. He will be honored if he forgives someone who sins against him.
