Proverbs 19:8-10

New International Version

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

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

¹⁰It is not fitting for a fool^(C) to live in luxury—
how much worse for a slave to rule over princes!^(D)

Proverbs 19:8-10

King James Version

⁸He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.

⁹A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.

¹⁰Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.

⁸He who gets ^[a]wisdom loves his own soul;
He who keeps understanding ^(A)will find good.

⁹A false witness will not go unpunished,
And he who speaks lies shall perish.

¹⁰Luxury is not fitting for a fool,
Much less ^(B)for a servant to rule over princes.

New International Version (NIV)
