Proverbs 20:1-4 The Message (MSG)

1. Wine makes you mean, beer makes you quarrelsome—a staggering drunk is not much fun.

2. Quick-tempered leaders are like mad dogs—cross them and they bite your head off.

3. It’s a mark of good character to avert quarrels,but fools love to pick fights.

4. A farmer too lazy to plant in the springhas nothing to harvest in the fall.
