Proverbs 20:1-6

1 Wine and beer make people loud and uncontrolled; it is not wise to get drunk on them.

2 An angry king is like a roaring lion. Making him angry may cost you your life.

3 Foolish people are always fighting, but avoiding quarrels will bring you honor.

4 Lazy farmers don't plow when they should; they expect a harvest, but there is none.

5 People's thoughts can be like a deep well, but someone with understanding can find the wisdom there.

6 Many people claim to be loyal, but it is hard to find a trustworthy person.
