Proverbs 20:5

5 Deep waters [are like] purpose in the heart of a man, and a man of understanding will draw it out.

Proverbs 20:5 In-Context

3 [It is] honorable for the man to refrain from strife, but every fool will be quick to quarrel.
4 The lazy person will not plow in season; he will expect at the harvest, but there [will be] nothing.
5 Deep waters [are like] purpose in the heart of a man, and a man of understanding will draw it out.
6 Many a person will proclaim his loyalty [for] himself, but a man [who is] trustworthy, who can find?
7 He who walks in his integrity [is] righteous; happy are his children who follow him.
