נַהַם כַּכְּפִיר אֵימַת מֶלֶךְ מִתְעַבְּרוֹ חוֹטֵא נַפְשֽׁוֹ
The terror of a king is as the roaring of a lion: He that provoketh him to anger forfeiteth his life.
כָּבוֹד לָאִישׁ שֶׁבֶת מֵרִיב וְכָל־אֱוִיל יִתְגַּלָּֽע

מֵחֹרֶף עָצֵל לֹא־יַחֲרֹשׁ ישאל בַּקָּצִיר וָאָֽיִן
The sluggard will not plow when winter setteth in; therefore he shall beg in harvest, and have nothing.
מַיִם עֲמֻקִּים עֵצָה בְלֶב־אִישׁ וְאִישׁ תְּבוּנָה יִדְלֶֽנָּה
