| Proverbs 20: (KJV) |
| 1) 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 enquiry. |
| 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 gray head. |
| 30) The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly. |
