2 The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion: whosoever provokes him to anger sins against his own life.
3 It is an honor for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.

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 everyone his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?
