Proverbs 19:10-12

New American Standard Bible

¹⁰Luxury is ^(A)not fitting for a fool;
Much less for a ^(B)slave to rule over princes.
¹¹A person’s ^(C)discretion makes him slow to anger,
And it is his glory ^(D)to overlook an offense.
¹²A ^(E)king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion,
But his favor is like ^(F)dew on the grass.
