    Proverbs 20
    • 1   Wine is a luxurious thing, and drunkenness riotous: whosoever is delighted therewith, shall not be wise.
    • 2   As the roaring of a lion, so also is the dread of a king: he that provoketh him, sinneth against his own soul.
    • 3   It is an honour for a man to separate himself from quarrels: but all fools are meddling with reproaches.
    • 4   Because of the cold the sluggard would not plough: he shall beg therefore in the summer, and it shall not be given him.
    • 5   Counsel in the heart of a man is like deep water: but a wise man will draw it out.
    • 6   Many men are called merciful: but who shall find a faithful man?
    • 7   The just that walketh in his simplicity, shall leave behind him blessed children.
    • 8   The king, that sitteth on the throne of judgment, scattereth away all evil with his look.
    • 9   Who can say: My heart is clean, I am pure from sin?
    • 10   Diverse weights and diverse measures, both are abominable before God.
    • 11   By his inclinations a child is known, if his works be clean and right.
    • 12   The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the Lord hath made them both.
    • 13   Love not sleep, lest poverty oppress thee: open thy eyes, and be filled with bread.
    • 14   It is naught, it is naught, saith every buyer: and when he is gone away, then he will boast.
    • 15   There is gold and a multitude of jewels: but the lips of knowledge are a precious vessel.
    • 16   Take away the garment of him that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge from him for strangers.
    • 17   The bread of lying is sweet to a man: but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.
    • 18   Designs are strengthened by counsels: and wars are to be managed by governments.
    • 19   Meddle not with him that revealeth secrets, and walketh deceitfully, and openeth wide his lips.
    • 20   He that curseth his father, and mother, his lamp shall be put out in the midst of darkness.
    • 21   The inheritance gotten hastily in the beginning, in the end shall be without a blessing.
    • 22   Say not: I will return evil: wait for the Lord, and he will deliver thee.
    • 23   Diverse weights are an abomination before the Lord: a deceitful balance is not good.
    • 24   The steps of men are guided by the Lord: but who is the man that can understand his own way?
    • 25   It is ruin to a man to devour holy ones, and after vows to retract.
    • 26   A wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth over them the wheel.
    • 27   The spirit of a man is the lamp of the Lord, which searcheth all the hidden things of the bowels.
    • 28   Mercy and truth preserve the king, and his throne is strengthened by clemency.
    • 29   The joy of young men is their strength: and the dignity of old men, their grey hairs.
    • 30   The blueness of a wound shall wipe away evils: and stripes in the more inward parts of the belly.
