Proverbs

¹Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise. ²The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion: whoso provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul. ³It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling. ⁴The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing. ⁵Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out. ⁶Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?
