Proverbs 19:29-20:2 NWT
29 Judgments have been firmly established for ridiculers, and strokes for the back of stupid ones. 20 Wine is a ridiculer, intoxicating liquor is boisterous, and everyone going astray by it is not wise. 2 The frightfulness of a king is a growling like that of a maned young lion. Anyone drawing his fury against himself is sinning against his own soul.

Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
