    whoever provokes him to anger sins against his own soul.

⁴ The sluggard will not plow because of the cold;
    therefore he will beg during harvest and have nothing.

    scatters away all evil with his eyes.

¹² The hearing ear and the seeing eye,
    the Lord has made both of them.

¹⁴ “It is bad, it is bad,” says the buyer;

    and hold it as a security when it is for a wayward woman.

²⁶ A wise king sifts out the wicked,
    and drives the threshing wheel over them.
