2The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion: whoever provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul.
3It is an honor for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.
4The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he 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?
7The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.
8A king that sitteth on the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes.
