2
The fear of a king [is] as the roaring of a lion: [whoever] provoketh him to anger sinneth [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 by reason of the cold; [therefore] shall he beg in harvest, and [have] nothing.
5
Counsel in the heart of man [is like] deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.
6
Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?
7
The just [man] walketh in his integrity: his children [are] blessed after him.
8
A king that sitteth on the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes.
9
Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?
10
Divers weights, [and] divers measures, both of them [are] alike abomination to the LORD.
11
Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work [is] pure, and whether [it is] right.
12
The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD hath made even both of them.
