1. It is a luxurious thing, wine, and inebriation is tumultuous. Anyone who is delighted by this will not be wise.
2. Just like the roaring of a lion, so also is the dread of a king. Whoever provokes him sins in his own soul.
3. Honor is for the man who separates himself from contentions. But all the foolish meddle in altercations.
4. Because of the cold, the lazy one was not willing to plough. Therefore, in the summer, he will beg, and it will not be given to him.
5. Counsel in the heart of a man is like deep waters. But a wise man will draw it out.
