Proverbs 20
a
Wine
is
a
b
mocker,
strong
drink
is
raging:
and
whosoever
is
deceived
thereby
is
not
wise.
2 The
fear
of
a
king
is
as
the
a
roaring
of
a
lion:
whoso
provoketh
him
to
b
anger
sinneth
against
his
own
soul.
3 It
is
an
honour
for
a
man
to
cease
from
a
strife:
but
every
b
fool
will
be
c
meddling.
4 The
a
sluggard
will
not
plow
by
reason
of
the
b
cold;
therefore
shall
he
beg
in
harvest,
and
have
nothing.
5
a
Counsel
in
the
b
heart
of
man
is
like
deep
c
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
a
walketh
in
his
b
integrity:
his
c
children
are
blessed
after
him.
8 A
king
that
sitteth
in
the
throne
of
judgment
a
scattereth
away
all
evil
with
his
eyes.
9 Who
can
say,
I
have
made
my
heart
a
clean,
I
am
pure
from
my
b
sin?
10 Divers
weights,
and
divers
measures,
both
of
them
are
alike
abomination
to
the
Lord.
11 Even
a
child
is
known
by
his
a
doings,
whether
his
b
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
a
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
a
boasteth.
15 There
is
gold,
and
a
multitude
of
rubies:
but
the
lips
of
knowledge
are
a
precious
a
jewel.
16 Take
his
a
garment
that
is
surety
for
a
stranger:
and
take
a
pledge
of
him
for
a
strange
woman.
17
a
Bread
of
b
deceit
is
sweet
to
a
man;
but
afterwards
his
mouth
shall
be
filled
with
gravel.
18 Every
purpose
is
established
by
a
counsel:
and
with
good
b
advice
make
c
war.
19 He
that
goeth
about
as
a
a
talebearer
revealeth
secrets:
therefore
meddle
not
with
him
that
b
flattereth
with
his
lips.
20 Whoso
curseth
his
a
father
or
his
mother,
his
b
lamp
shall
be
put
out
in
obscure
c
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
a
recompense
evil;
but
b
wait
on
the
Lord,
and
he
shall
save
thee.
23 Divers
weights
are
an
abomination
unto
the
Lord;
and
a
a
false
balance
is
not
good.
24 Man's
a
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
a
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
a
glory
of
young
men
is
their
strength:
and
the
b
beauty
of
c
old
men
is
the
d
gray
head.
30 The
blueness
of
a
wound
cleanseth
away
evil:
so
do
a
stripes
the
inward
parts
of
the
belly.
