Proverbs 19:8-13 New International Version (NIV)

8. The one who gets wisdom loves life; the one who cherishes understanding will soon prosper.

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

10. It is not fitting for a fool to live in luxury— how much worse for a slave to rule over princes!

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

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

13. A foolish child is a father’s ruin, and a quarrelsome wife is like the constant dripping of a leaky roof.
