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.
6 Many claim to have unfailing love,but a faithful person who can find?
7 The righteous lead blameless lives;blessed are their children after them.
8 When a king sits on his throne to judge,he winnows out all evil with his eyes.
