2 A king's anger is like a lion's roar. Anyone who makes him angry may lose his life.
3 Avoiding a fight brings honor to a man. But every foolish person is quick to argue.
4 Anyone who refuses to work doesn't plow in the right season. When he looks for a crop at harvest time, he doesn't find it.
5 The purposes of a man's heart are like deep water. But a man who has understanding brings them out.
6 Many claim to have love that never fails. But who can find a faithful man?
7 Anyone who does what is right lives without blame. Blessed are his children after him.
8 A king sits on his throne to judge. He gets rid of all evil when he sees it.
