Proverbs 20:1-3
English Standard Version Anglicised

20 (A)Wine is a mocker, (B)strong drink a brawler,
    and whoever (C)is led astray by it is not wise.[a]
2 The terror of a king is like (D)the growling of a lion;
    whoever provokes him to anger (E)forfeits his life.
3 It is an honour for a man to (F)keep aloof from strife,
    but every fool will be quarrelling.
