Proverbs 19:8-10

New International Reader's Version

⁸Anyone who gets wisdom loves life.
Anyone who values understanding will soon succeed.

⁹A dishonest witness will be punished.
And those who pour out lies will die.

¹⁰It isn’t proper for a foolish person to live in great comfort.
And it is much worse when a slave rules over princes!
