Proverbs 20:1-3
American Standard Version
20 Wine is a mocker, strong drink a brawler;
And whosoever [a]erreth thereby is not wise.
2 The terror of a king is as the roaring of a lion:
He that [b]provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own [c]life.
3 It is an honor for a man to [d]keep aloof from strife;
But every fool will be quarrelling.
