Proverbs 20:2-4
American Standard Version
2 The terror of a king is as the roaring of a lion:
He that [a]provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own [b]life.
3 It is an honor for a man to [c]keep aloof from strife;
But every fool will be quarrelling.
4 The sluggard will not plow by reason of the winter;
[d]Therefore he shall beg in harvest, and have nothing.
