Proverbs 19:10-17

Proverbs 19:10-17 CSB

Luxury is not appropriate for a fool   #— # how much less for a slave to rule over princes!  A person’s insight gives him patience,  and his virtue is to overlook an offense.  A king’s rage is like the roaring of a lion,  but his favor is like dew on the grass.  A foolish son is his father’s ruin,  and a wife’s nagging is an endless dripping.  A house and wealth are inherited from fathers,  but a prudent wife is from the  LORD. Laziness induces deep sleep, and a lazy person will go hungry.  The one who keeps commands preserves himself;  one who disregards  his ways will die.  Kindness to the poor is a loan to the  LORD,  and he will give a reward to the lender.
