Proverbs - Chapter: 20


20:1	Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.
20:2	The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion: whoso provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul.
20:3	It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.
20:4	The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.
20:5	Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.
20:6	Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?
20:7	The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.
20:8	A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes.
20:9	Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?
20:10	Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the LORD.
20:11	Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.
20:12	The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD hath made even both of them.
20:13	Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.
20:14	It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer: but when he is gone his way, then he boasteth.
20:15	There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.
20:16	Take his garment that is surety for a stranger: and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
20:17	Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.
20:18	Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.
20:19	He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.
20:20	Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.
20:21	An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; but the end thereof shall not be blessed.
20:22	Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee.
20:23	Divers weights are an abomination unto the LORD; and a false balance is not good.
20:24	Man's goings are of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way?
20:25	It is a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy, and after vows to make enquiry.
20:26	A wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth the wheel over them.
20:27	The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.
20:28	Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upholden by mercy.
20:29	The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the gray head.
20:30	The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly.

20:1	Wine `is' a scorner -- strong drink `is' noisy, And any going astray in it is not wise.
20:2	The fear of a king `is' a growl as of a young lion, He who is causing him to be wroth is wronging his soul.

20:18	Purposes by counsel thou dost establish, And with plans make thou war.
20:19	A revealer of secret counsels is the busybody, And for a deceiver `with' his lips make not thyself surety.
20:20	Whoso is vilifying his father and his mother, Extinguished is his lamp in blackness of darkness.
20:21	An inheritance gotten wrongly at first, Even its latter end is not blessed.
20:22	Do not say, `I recompense evil,' Wait for Jehovah, and He delivereth thee.
20:23	An abomination to Jehovah `are' a stone and a stone, And balances of deceit `are' not good.
