Proverbs 19:10-16
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 19

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. 13A foolish son is destruction to his father, And the quarrels of a wife are a constant dripping. 14House and wealth are an inheritance from fathers, But a prudent wife is from the Lord. 15Laziness casts one into a deep sleep, And a lazy person will suffer hunger. 16One who keeps the commandment keeps his soul, But one who is careless of conduct will die.
King James Version

Chapter 19

10Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
11The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
12The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass.
13A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.
14House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the Lord.
15Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
16He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die.
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 19

10Luxury is not appropriate for a fool— how much less for a slave to rule over princes!
11A person’s insight gives him patience, and his virtue is to overlook an offense.
12A king’s rage is like the roaring of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.
13A foolish son is his father’s ruin, and a wife’s nagging is an endless dripping.
14A house and wealth are inherited from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the Lord.
15Laziness induces deep sleep, and a lazy person will go hungry.
16The one who keeps commands preserves himself; one who disregards his ways will die.
New Living Translation

Chapter 19

10It isn’t right for a fool to live in luxury or for a slave to rule over princes!
11Sensible people control their temper; they earn respect by overlooking wrongs.
12The king’s anger is like a lion’s roar, but his favor is like dew on the grass.
13A foolish child is a calamity to a father; a quarrelsome wife is as annoying as constant dripping.
14Fathers can give their sons an inheritance of houses and wealth, but only the Lord can give an understanding wife.
15Lazy people sleep soundly, but idleness leaves them hungry.
16Keep the commandments and keep your life; despising them leads to death.
English Standard Version

Chapter 19

10 It is not fitting for a fool to live in luxury, much less for a slave to rule over princes. 11 Good 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. 13 A foolish son is ruin to his father, and a wife 's quarreling is a continual dripping of rain. 14 House and wealth are inherited from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the Lord. 15 Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep, and an idle person will suffer hunger. 16Whoever keeps the commandment keeps his life; he who despises his ways will die.
New International Version

Chapter 19

10It is not fitting for a fool to live in luxury— how much worse for a slave to rule over princes!
11A person’s wisdom yields patience; it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense.
12A king’s rage is like the roar of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.
13A foolish child is a father’s ruin, and a quarrelsome wife is like the constant dripping of a leaky roof.
14Houses and wealth are inherited from parents, but a prudent wife is from the Lord.
15Laziness brings on deep sleep, and the shiftless go hungry.
16Whoever keeps commandments keeps their life, but whoever shows contempt for their ways will die.
New King James Version
