Proverbs 20:2-4

New International Reader's Version

² A king’s anger brings terror like a lion’s roar.
    Anyone who makes him angry may lose their life.

³ Avoiding a fight brings honor to a person.
    But every foolish person is quick to argue.

⁴ Anyone who refuses to work doesn’t plow in the right season.
    When they look for a crop at harvest time, they don’t find it.
