Proverbs 20:2-4

The Voice

² A king’s wrath strikes fear like a lion’s roar;
    those who provoke him to anger sentence themselves to death.
³ Honor is due those who refuse to fight at the drop of a hat,
    but every fool jumps at an opportunity to quarrel.
⁴ A slacker procrastinates when it is time to plow;
    so when it’s time for harvest, there are no crops in the field.
