1 Wine is a mocker, beer is a brawler, and whoever staggers because of them is not wise.
2 A king's terrible wrath is like the roaring of a lion; anyone who provokes him endangers himself.[a]
3 It is honorable for a man to resolve a dispute, but any fool can get himself into a quarrel.[b]
4 The slacker does not plow during planting season;[c] at harvest time he looks,[d] and there is nothing.[e]
5 Counsel in a man's heart is deep water;[f] but a man of understanding draws it up.
6 Many a man proclaims his own loyalty, but who can find a trustworthy man?[g]
