Proverbs 20:2-4
Complete Jewish Bible
2 The dread of a king is like when a lion roars;
he who makes him angry commits a life-threatening sin.
3 Avoiding quarrels brings a person honor;
for any fool can explode in anger.
4 A lazy person won’t plow in winter;
so at harvest-time, when he looks, there is nothing.

4 The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.
