Proverbs 20:2-8

²The threat of a king differs not from the rage of a lion; and he that provokes him sins against his own soul.

³It is a glory to a man to turn aside from railing; but every fool is entangled with such matters.

⁴A sluggard when reproached is not ashamed: so also he who borrows corn in harvest.

⁵Counsel in a man's heart is deep water; but a prudent man will draw it out.

⁶A man is valuable, and a merciful man precious: but it is hard to find a faithful man.

⁷He that walks blameless in justice, shall leave his children blessed.

⁸Whenever a righteous king sits on the throne, no evil thing can stand before his presence.
