1Wine is a mocker, strong drink a brawler, And he that reeleth with it is not wise.
2The terror of a king is like the roaring of a lion; He who provoketh him sinneth against himself.
3It is an honor to a man to cease from strife; Bur every fool rusheth into it.
4The sluggard will not plough by reason of the cold; Therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.
5A design in the heart of a man is like deep waters; But a man of understanding draweth it out.
6Many will proclaim their own kindness; But a faithful man who can find?
7He who walketh in his integrity is a righteous man; Happy will be his children after him!
8The king, sitting upon the throne of judgment, Scattereth with his eyes all the wicked like chaff.
9Who can say, “I have kept my heart clean; I am free from my sin?”
10Divers weights and divers measures,—Both of them are an abomination to the LORD.
