1 Wine is a mocker and beer a brawler;whoever is led astray by them is not wise.
2 A king’s wrath strikes terror like the roar of a lion;those who anger him forfeit their lives.
3 It is to one’s honour to avoid strife,but every fool is quick to quarrel.
4 Sluggards do not plough in season;so at harvest time they look but find nothing.
5 The purposes of a person’s heart are deep waters,but one who has insight draws them out.
