Verse 3 is found in chapter 20 of Proverbs. Wine and strong drink are described as capable of producing mockery and conflict when they dominate a person. Sobriety is associated with prudence and self-control. A ruler who sits in judgment separates evil from good with his eyes, showing that authority requires discernment. The image of the king also introduces the responsibility of investigating before issuing judgment.

Es ist dem Mann eine Ehre, vom Hader bleiben; aber die gern Hadern, sind allzumal Narren.
Honra es del hombre dejarse de contienda: Mas todo insensato se envolverá en ella.
Es honra del hombre evitar la disputa, pero todo necio se enreda en ella.
C'est une gloire pour l'homme de s'abstenir des querelles, Mais tout insensé se livre à l'emportement.
Egli è gloria all’uomo di rimanersi di contesa; Ma chiunque è stolto si fa schernire
Honroso é para o homem desviar-se de questões, mas todo tolo é intrometido.
止息紛爭是人的尊榮, 愚妄人爭鬧不休。
