Proverbs 19:8-10
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
8 Those who gain sense truly love themselves;
those who preserve understanding will find success.[a]
9 The false witness will not go unpunished,
and whoever utters lies will perish.
10 Luxury is not befitting a fool;
much less should a slave rule over princes.
