Proverbs 20:1-3

The Voice

20 Too much wine begins to mock you,
    too much strong drink leads to noisy fights,
    and whoever is misled by either is not wise.
² A king’s wrath strikes fear like a lion’s roar;
    those who provoke him to anger sentence themselves to death.
³ Honor is due those who refuse to fight at the drop of a hat,
    but every fool jumps at an opportunity to quarrel.
