2Like the roaring of a young lion is the dread of a king: whoso provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul.
3It is an honor for a man to cease from a contest; but every fool enrageth himself.
4Because it is winter's cold, will the sluggard not plough: when he therefore seeketh in the harvest time, there will be nothing.
5Like deep water is counsel in the heart of man; but the man of understanding will draw it out.
6Most men will proclaim every one his own kindness; but who can find a faithful man?
7The righteous walketh in his integrity: happy will be his children after him.
8A king that sitteth on the throne of justice scattereth away with his eyes all evil.
9Who can say, I have made my heart pure, I am cleansed from my sin.
