1. Wine is a mocker, strong drink a brawler; And whosoever erreth thereby is not wise.
2. The terror of a king is as the roaring of a lion: He that provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own life.
3. It is an honor for a man to keep aloof from strife; But every fool will be quarrelling.
4. The sluggard will not plow by reason of the winter; Therefore he shall beg in harvest, and have nothing.
5. Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; But a man of understanding will draw it out.
6. Most men will proclaim every one his own kindness; But a faithful man who can find?
7. A righteous man that walketh in his integrity, Blessed are his children after him.
