Proverbs 20:2-4
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
2 The dread anger of a king is like the growling of a lion;
anyone who provokes him to anger forfeits life itself.(A)
3 It is honorable to refrain from strife,
but every fool is quick to quarrel.(B)
4 The lazy person does not plow in season;
harvest comes, and there is nothing to be found.(C)
