Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.

Verse 10 is found in chapter 19 of Proverbs. The integrity of the poor is favorably compared with the perversity of the fool, challenging the idea that wealth automatically equals wisdom. Desire without knowledge leads to mistakes, and haste can cause stumbling. Generosity toward the poor is connected with the Lord. The chapter also reminds us that a false witness and one who spreads lies produce consequences that cannot be considered minor.

Dem Narren steht nicht wohl an, gute Tage haben, viel weniger einem Knecht, zu herrschen über Fürsten.
No conviene al necio el deleite: ¡Cuánto menos al siervo ser señor de los príncipes!
No le conviene al necio vivir con lujos; mucho menos a un siervo gobernar sobre príncipes.
Il ne sied pas à un insensé de vivre dans les délices; Combien moins à un esclave de dominer sur des princes!
I diletti non si convengono allo stolto; Quanto meno conviensi al servo signoreggiar sopra i principi!
Ao tolo não é certo gozar de deleites; quanto menos ao servo dominar sobre os príncipes!
愚昧人奢華度日並不相宜, 僕人管轄王子,也不應該。
