New King James Version

Proverbs 20:1-4 New King James Version (NKJV)

1. Wine is a mocker,Strong drink is a brawler,And whoever is led astray by it is not wise.

2. The wrath of a king is like the roaring of a lion;Whoever provokes him to anger sins against his own life.

3. It is honorable for a man to stop striving,Since any fool can start a quarrel.

4. The lazy man will not plow because of winter;He will beg during harvest and have nothing.
