1 Wine is a mocker, and beer is a brawler; Whoever is let astray by them is not wise.
2 The terror of a king is like the roaring of a lion: He who provokes him to anger forfeits his own life.
3 It is an honor for a man to keep aloof from strife; But every fool will be quarreling.
4 The sluggard will not plow by reason of the winter; Therefore he shall beg in harvest, and have nothing.
5 Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; But a man of understanding will draw it out.
6 Many men claim to be men of unfailing love, But who can find a faithful man?
7 A righteous man who walks in his integrity, Blessed are his children after him.
