2  ⁱThe terror of a king is like the growling of a lion;

whoever provokes him to anger forfeits his life.

4  ^kThe sluggard does not plow in the autumn;

he will seek at harvest and have nothing.

8  A king who sits on the throne of judgment

winnows all evil with his eyes.

12  The hearing ear and the seeing eye,

the Lord has made them both.

14  “Bad, bad,” says the buyer,

but when he goes away, then he boasts.

16  Take a man’s garment when he has ^tput up security for a stranger,

and hold it in pledge when he puts up security for foreigners.¹

26  A wise king winnows the wicked

and drives the wheel over them.
