Proverbs 19:9


Proverbs 19:8 Proverbs 19:9 (KJV) Proverbs 19:10
He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.
A false witness shall not be unpunished, and [he that] speaketh lies shall perish.
Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
