2 The king’s fury is like a lion’s roar;to rouse his anger is to risk your life.
3 Avoiding a fight is a mark of honor;only fools insist on quarreling.
4 Those too lazy to plow in the right seasonwill have no food at the harvest.
5 Though good advice lies deep within the heart,a person with understanding will draw it out.
6 Many will say they are loyal friends,but who can find one who is truly reliable?
7 The godly walk with integrity;blessed are their children who follow them.
8 When a king sits in judgment, he weighs all the evidence,distinguishing the bad from the good.
