2The terror of a king is as the roaring of a lion: he that provoketh him to anger forfeiteth his life.
3It is an honour for a man to keep aloof from strife; but every fool will be snarling.
4The sluggard will not plow when winter setteth in; 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.
6Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness; but a faithful man who can find?
7He that walketh in his integrity as a just man, happy are his children after him.
8A king that sitteth on the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes.
