Proverbs 19:9 Context
7All the brethren of the poore doe hate him: howe much more doe his friends goe farre from him? Hee pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him. 8He that getteth wisedome loueth his owne soule: he that keepeth vnderstanding shall find good. 9A false witnesse shall not be vnpunished, and hee that speaketh lyes, shall perish. 10Delight is not seemely for a foole: much lesse for a seruant to haue rule ouer princes. 11The discretion of a man deferreth his anger: and it is his glory to passe ouer a transgression.
