Proverbs 20:2-4

Evangelical Heritage Version

² The king’s rage is like a lion’s growl.
Whoever intrudes on him endangers his life.
³ Avoiding strife brings honor to a man,
but every stubborn fool is always fighting.
⁴ A lazy person fails to plow when it is the season for planting.^[a]
He expects something in the harvest, but nothing will be there.
