1 Wine is a mocker, strong drink a brawler, and any who go astray by it are not wise.
2 Roaring like the lion is the dreaded anger of a king; he who provokes him forfeits his life.
3 It is honorable for the man to refrain from strife, but every fool will be quick to quarrel.
4 The lazy person will not plow in season; he will expect at the harvest, but there will be nothing.
5 Deep waters are like purpose in the heart of a man, and a man of understanding will draw it out.
6 Many a person will proclaim his loyalty for himself, but a man who is trustworthy, who can find?
