Proverbs 20:1-3

Jubilee Bible 2000

20 ¶ Wine makes a mocker, and beer a reveler, and whoever errs concerning them shall never be wise.

²¶ The fear of the king is as the roaring of a lion; whoever provokes him to anger sins against his own soul.

³¶ It is an honour for a man to cease from strife, but every fool will be meddling.
