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