1. Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging,and whoever is deceived by it is not wise.
2. The terror of a king is as the roaring of a lion;whoever provokes him to anger sins against his own soul.
3. It is an honor for a man to cease from strife,but every fool will be meddling.
4. The sluggard will not plow because of the cold;therefore 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.
