1. Wine is a mocker, and beer is a brawler.Whoever is led astray by them is not wise.
2. The terror of a king is like the roaring of a lion.He who provokes him to anger forfeits his own life.
3. It is an honour for a man to keep aloof from strife;but every fool will be quarrelling.
4. The sluggard will not plough by reason of the winter;therefore he shall beg in harvest, and have nothing.
5. Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water;but a man of understanding will draw it out.
6. Many men claim to be men of unfailing love,but who can find a faithful man?
