2The terror of a king is like the roaring of a lion. He who provokes him to anger forfeits his own life.
3It is an honour for a man to keep aloof from strife, but every fool will be quarrelling.
4The sluggard will not plough by reason of the winter; therefore he shall beg in harvest, and have nothing.
5Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water, but a man of understanding will draw it out.
