2The terror of a king is like the roaring of a lion. He who provokes him to anger forfeits his own life.
3It is kavod ·weighty glory· for a man to keep aloof from strife; but every fool will be quarreling.
4The sluggard will not plow by reason of the winter; therefore he shall begin harvest, and have nothing.
5Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.
6Many men claim to be men of cheshed ·loving-kindness·, but who can find a faithful man?
7A upright man walks in integrity. Blessed are his children after him.
8A king who sits on the throne of judgment scatters away all evil with his eyes.
