Proverbs 20:2-5

1. 2 The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion: whoso provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul.

2. 3 It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.

3. 4 The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.

4. 5 Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.
