Proverbs 20:2

Compare all

1 Wine ^ais a mocker,
Strong drink is a brawler,
And whoever is led astray by it is not wise.

2 The¹ wrath of a king is like the roaring of a lion;
Whoever provokes him to anger sins against his own life.

3 ^aIt is honorable for a man to stop striving,
Since any fool can start a quarrel.

4 ^aThe lazy man will not plow because of winter;
^bHe will beg during harvest and have nothing.
