    Those who anger him may lose their life.

⁴ The lazy don’t plow during winter;
    at harvest they look but find nothing.

⁸ A king who sits on his judgment throne
    sifts out all evil with his eyes.

¹² Ears to hear and eyes to see—
    the Lord made them both.

¹⁴ The buyer says, “Bad, bad,”
    but then goes away and brags.

¹⁶ Take the garment of the person who secures a loan for a stranger;
    take his pledge for a foreigner.

²⁶ A wise king sifts out the wicked,
    and runs them over with a wheel.
