Proverbs 20:1-9

Listen to Proverbs 20:1-9

1 Wine is a mocker; beer a carouser. Those it leads astray won't become wise.

2 A king is as terrifying as a lion's growl. Those who anger him may lose their life.

3 It is honorable to back off from a fight, but fools jump right in.

4 The lazy don't plow during winter; at harvest they look but find nothing.

5 Advice comes from the deep waters of the heart; those with understanding can draw it out.

6 Many people will say that they are loyal, but who can find a reliable person?

7 The righteous live with integrity; happy are their children who come after them.

8 A king who sits on his judgment throne sifts out all evil with his eyes.

9 Who can say, "I'm innocent to the core; I'm cleansed from my sin"?

Thanks for joining us on this edition of SD with Pastor Jeff Johnson. The mouth has been given to us to communicate to man and to God. We can use it to bless and worship the Lord and unfortunately curse our fellow man. Today on Sound Doctrine, Pastor Jeff looks at Proverbs chapter 20.
