2 The king’s terrifying anger is like the roar of a lion;whoever provokes him sins against himself.
3 It is an honor for a person to cease from strife,but every fool quarrels.
4 The sluggard will not plow during the planting season,so at harvest time he looks for the crop but has nothing.
5 Counsel in a person’s heart is like deep water,but an understanding person draws it out.
6 Many people profess their loyalty,but a faithful person – who can find?
7 The righteous person behaves in integrity; blessed are his children after him.
8 A king sitting on the throne to judgeseparates out all evil with his eyes.
