2. The terror of a king is like the growling of a lion; He who provokes him to anger forfeits his own life.
3. Keeping away from strife is an honor for a man, But any fool will quarrel.
4. The sluggard does not plow after the autumn, So he begs during the harvest and has nothing.
5. A plan in the heart of a man is like deep water, But a man of understanding draws it out.
6. Many a man proclaims his own loyalty, But who can find a trustworthy man?
7. A righteous man who walks in his integrity- How blessed are his sons after him.
8. A king who sits on the throne of justice Disperses all evil with his eyes.
