Proverbs 20 (KJV) Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is
deceived thereby is not wise. {2} The fear of a king is as the roaring of a
lion: whoso provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul. {3} It is an
honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.
{4} The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg
in harvest, and have nothing. {5} Counsel in the heart of man is like deep
water; but a man of understanding will draw it out. {6} Most men will proclaim
every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find? {7} The just man
walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him. {8} A king that
sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes.
{9} Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?
{10} Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination
to the LORD. {11} Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be
pure, and whether it be right. {12} The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the
LORD hath made even both of them. {13} Love not sleep, lest thou come to
poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread. {14} It is
naught, it is naught, saith the buyer: but when he is gone his way, then he
boasteth. {15} There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of
knowledge are a precious jewel. {16} Take his garment that is surety for a
stranger: and take a pledge of him for a strange woman. {17} Bread of deceit
is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.
{18} Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.
{19} He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle
not with him that flattereth with his lips. {20} Whoso curseth his father or
his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness. {21} An inheritance
may be gotten hastily at the beginning; but the end thereof shall not be
blessed. {22} Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the LORD, and
he shall save thee. {23} Divers weights are an abomination unto the LORD; and
a false balance is not good. {24} Man's goings are of the LORD; how can a man
then understand his own way? {25} It is a snare to the man who devoureth that
which is holy, and after vows to make inquiry. {26} A wise king scattereth the
wicked, and bringeth the wheel over them. {27} The spirit of man is the candle
of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly. {28} Mercy and truth
preserve the king: and his throne is upholden by mercy. {29} The glory of
young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the grey head.
{30} The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward
parts of the belly.
