Proverbs 20:1-4 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

1. Wine is a luxurious thing, and drunkenness riotous: whosoever is delighted therewith shell not be wise.

2. As the roaring of a lion, so also is the dread of a king: he that provoketh him, sinneth against his own soul.

3. It is an honour for a man to separate himself from quarrels: but all fools are meddling with reproaches.

4. Because of the cold the sluggard would not plough: he shall beg therefore in the summer, and it shall not be given him.
