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)
