Book 20 Proverbs Chapter 020

 

020:001Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is
deceived thereby is not wise.

 

020:002The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion: whoso
provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul.

 

020:003It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool
will be meddling.

 

020:004The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore
shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.

 

020:005Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of
understanding will draw it out.

 

020:006Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a
faithful man who can find?

 

020:007The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are
blessed after him.

 

020:008A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away
all evil with his eyes.

 

020:009Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my
sin?

 

020:010Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike
abomination to the LORD.

 

020:011Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure,
and whether it be right.

 

020:012The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD hath made even
both of them.

 

020:013Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes,
and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.

 

020:014It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer: but when he is
gone his way, then he boasteth.

 

020:015There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of
knowledge are a precious jewel.

 

020:016Take his garment that is surety for a stranger: and take a
pledge of him for a strange woman.

 

020:017Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth
shall be filled with gravel.

 

020:018Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice
make war.

 

020:019He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets:
therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.

 

020:020Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put
out in obscure darkness.

 

020:021An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; but the
end thereof shall not be blessed.

 

020:022Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the LORD,
and he shall save thee.

 

020:023Divers weights are an abomination unto the LORD; and a false
balance is not good.

 

020:024Man's goings are of the LORD; how can a man then understand
his own way?

 

020:025It is a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy, and
after vows to make enquiry.

 

020:026A wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth the wheel over
them.

 

020:027The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the
inward parts of the belly.

 

020:028Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upholden
by mercy.

 

020:029The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of
old men is the grey head.

 

020:030The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the
inward parts of the belly.
