Proverbs 20:3-5

The Voice

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.
⁵ The real motives come from deep within a person—as from deep waters—
    but a discerning person is able to draw them up and expose them.
