1 Wine is a mocker,Strong drink is a brawler,And whoever is led astray by it is not wise.
2 The wrath of a king is like the roaring of a lion;Whoever provokes him to anger sins against his own life.
3 It is honorable for a man to stop striving,Since any fool can start a quarrel.
4 The lazy man will not plow because of winter;He will beg during harvest and have nothing.
5 Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water,But a man of understanding will draw it out.
6 Most men will proclaim each his own goodness,But who can find a faithful man?
7 The righteous man walks in his integrity;His children are blessed after him.
