Proverbs 20:1-3
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

20 Wine is a mocker, strong drink a brawler,
    and whoever is led astray by it is not wise.(A)
2 The dread anger of a king is like the growling of a lion;
    anyone who provokes him to anger forfeits life itself.(B)
3 It is honorable to refrain from strife,
    but every fool is quick to quarrel.(C)
