Proverbs 20:2-4

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²The terror of a king is as the roaring of a lion; whoever provokes him to anger or angers himself against him sins against his own life.

³It is an honor for a man to cease from strife and keep aloof from it, but every fool will quarrel.

⁴The sluggard does not plow when winter sets in; therefore he begs in harvest and has nothing.
