Proverbs 19

10 Not [is] suitable for a fool luxury indeed? for for a slave - to rule over princes.

It is not appropriate for foolish people to live (luxuriously/like rich people), and it is even less appropriate for slaves to rule important officials.

11 [the] prudence of A person it makes long anger his and glory his [is] to pass over transgression.

Those who have good sense do not quickly become angry; people respect those who ignore offensive [things that people say to them].

12 [is] a roaring Like young lion [the] rage of a king and [is] like dew on grass favor his.

16 [one who] keeps A commandment [is] guarding life his [the] [one who] despises ways his (he will die. *Q(K)*)

Those who obey [God’s] commandments will remain alive [for a long time]; those who despise/disobey them (OR, those who do not control their own conduct) will die [while they are still young].

18 Discipline son your for there [is] hope and to putting to death him may not you lift up desire your.

Discipline your children while [they are young], while you still hope that [they will learn to behave as they should]; [if you do not discipline them], you are helping them to destroy [themselves].

If you punish someone who makes fun of those who are wise, those who (are naive/need to be instructed) will learn to do what is smart; if you rebuke those who are wise, they will [listen to what you say and] become wiser.

26 [one who] assaults A father he drives away a mother [is] a son [who] brings shame and [who] causes shame.
