Proverbs 20:1-3

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

20 Wine is a luxurious thing, and drunkenness riotous: whosoever is delighted therewith shall not be wise.

² As the roaring of a lion, so also is the dread of a king: he that provoketh him, sinneth against his own soul.

³ It is an honour for a man to separate himself from quarrels: but all fools are meddling with reproaches.
