Proverbs 20:2-4
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

2 The dread anger of a king is like the growling of a lion;
    anyone who provokes him to anger forfeits life itself.
3 It is honourable to refrain from strife,
    but every fool is quick to quarrel.
4 The lazy person does not plough in season;
    harvest comes, and there is nothing to be found.
