Proverbs 20:2-4

Modern English Version

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.
