The fear of a king [is] as the roaring of a lion: [whoso] provoketh him to anger sinneth [against] his own soul.	[It is] an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.	The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; [therefore] shall he beg in harvest, and [have] nothing.
