Proverbs 19:7-12

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁷ If the poor are hated even by their kin,
    how much more are they shunned by their friends!
When they call after them, they are not there.^[a]
8 To get wisdom is to love oneself;
    to keep understanding is to prosper.
⁹ A false witness will not go unpunished,
    and the liar will perish.
¹⁰ It is not fitting for a fool to live in luxury,
    much less for a slave to rule over princes.
¹¹ Those with good sense are slow to anger,
    and it is their glory to overlook an offence.
¹² A king’s anger is like the growling of a lion,
    but his favour is like dew on the grass.
