Proverbs 19:6-12
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 19
6Many will seek the favor of a generous person, And every person is a friend to him who gives gifts. 7All the brothers of a poor person hate him; How much more do his friends abandon him! He pursues them with words, but they are gone. 8One who gets wisdom loves his own soul; One who keeps understanding will find good. 9A false witness will not go unpunished, And one who declares lies will perish. 10Luxury is not fitting for a fool; Much less for a slave to rule over princes. 11A person’s discretion makes him slow to anger, And it is his glory to overlook an offense. 12A king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion, But his favor is like dew on the grass.King James Version

Chapter 19
6Many seek the favor of a generous man, and everyone is a friend to a man who gives gifts. 7All a poor man’s brothers hate him; how much more do his friends go far from him! He pursues them with words, but does not have them. 8Whoever gets sense loves his own soul; he who keeps understanding will discover good. 9A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who breathes out lies will perish. 10It is not fitting for a fool to live in luxury, much less for a slave to rule over princes. 11Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense. 12A king’s wrath is like the growling of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.New International Version
