Proverbs 20:3-13

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.

7 The good people who live honest lives will be a blessing to their children.

8 When a king sits on his throne to judge, he knows evil when he sees it.

9 No one can say, "I am innocent; I have never done anything wrong."

10 The Lord hates both these things: dishonest weights and dishonest measures.

11 Even children are known by their behavior; their actions show if they are innocent and good.

12 The Lord has made both these things: ears to hear and eyes to see.

13 If you love to sleep, you will be poor. If you stay awake, you will have plenty of food.
