Proverbs 19:11 Context
9A false witnesse shall not be vnpunished, and hee that speaketh lyes, shall perish. 10Delight is not seemely for a foole: much lesse for a seruant to haue rule ouer princes. 11The discretion of a man deferreth his anger: and it is his glory to passe ouer a transgression. 12The kings wrath is as the roaring of a lyon: but his fauour is as dewe vpon the grasse. 13A foolish sonne is the calamity of his father; and the contentions of a wife are a continuall dropping.
