1 Wine 'is' a scorner -- strong drink 'is' noisy, And any going astray in it is not wise.
2 The fear of a king 'is' a growl as of a young lion, He who is causing him to be wroth is wronging his soul.
3 An honour to a man is cessation from strife, And every fool intermeddleth.
4 Because of winter the slothful plougheth not, He asketh in harvest, and there is nothing.
5 Counsel in the heart of a man 'is' deep water, And a man of understanding draweth it up.
