Proverbs 20

The Message Bible MSG

1 Wine makes you mean, beer makes you quarrelsome - a staggering drunk is not much fun.

2 Quick-tempered leaders are like mad dogs - cross them and they bite your head off.

3 It's a mark of good character to avert quarrels, but fools love to pick fights.

4 A farmer too lazy to plant in the spring has nothing to harvest in the fall.

5 Knowing what is right is like deep water in the heart; a wise person draws from the well within.

6 Lots of people claim to be loyal and loving, but where on earth can you find one?

7 God-loyal people, living honest lives, make it much easier for their children.

8 Leaders who know their business and care keep a sharp eye out for the shoddy and cheap,

9 For who among us can be trusted to be always diligent and honest?

10 Switching price tags and padding the expense account are two things God hates.

11 Young people eventually reveal by their actions if their motives are on the up and up. Drinking from the Chalice of Knowledge

12 Ears that hear and eyes that see - we get our basic equipment from God!

13 Don't be too fond of sleep; you'll end up in the poorhouse. Wake up and get up; then there'll be food on the table.

14 The shopper says, "That's junk - I'll take it off your hands," then goes off boasting of the bargain.

15 Drinking from the beautiful chalice of knowledge is better than adorning oneself with gold and rare gems.

16 Hold tight to collateral on any loan to a stranger; beware of accepting what a transient has pawned.

17 Stolen bread tastes sweet, but soon your mouth is full of gravel.

18 Form your purpose by asking for counsel, then carry it out using all the help you can get.

19 Gossips can't keep secrets, so never confide in blabbermouths.

20 Anyone who curses father and mother extinguishes light and exists benighted. The Very Steps We Take

21 A bonanza at the beginning is no guarantee of blessing at the end.

22 Don't ever say, "I'll get you for that!" Wait for God; he'll settle the score.

23 God hates cheating in the marketplace; rigged scales are an outrage.

24 The very steps we take come from God; otherwise how would we know where we're going?

25 An impulsive vow is a trap; later you'll wish you could get out of it.

26 After careful scrutiny, a wise leader makes a clean sweep of rebels and dolts.

27 God is in charge of human life, watching and examining us inside and out.

28 Love and truth form a good leader; sound leadership is founded on loving integrity.

29 Youth may be admired for vigor, but gray hair gives prestige to old age.

30 A good thrashing purges evil; punishment goes deep within us.

3 honor est homini qui separat se a contentionibus omnes autem stulti miscentur contumeliis

4 propter frigus piger arare noluit mendicabit ergo aestate et non dabitur ei

5 sicut aqua profunda sic consilium in corde viri sed homo sapiens exhauriet illud

6 multi homines misericordes vocantur virum autem fidelem quis inveniet

7 iustus qui ambulat in simplicitate sua beatos post se filios derelinquet

8 rex qui sedet in solio iudicii dissipat omne malum intuitu suo

9 quis potest dicere mundum est cor meum purus sum a peccato

10 pondus et pondus mensura et mensura utrumque abominabile est apud Deum

11 ex studiis suis intellegitur puer si munda et si recta sint opera eius

12 aurem audientem et oculum videntem Dominus fecit utrumque

13 noli diligere somnum ne te egestas opprimat aperi oculos tuos et saturare panibus

14 malum est malum est dicit omnis emptor et cum recesserit tunc gloriabitur

15 est aurum et multitudo gemmarum vas autem pretiosum labia scientiae

16 tolle vestimentum eius qui fideiussor extitit alieni et pro extraneis aufer pignus ab eo

17 suavis est homini panis mendacii et postea implebitur os eius calculo

18 cogitationes consiliis roborantur et gubernaculis tractanda sunt bella

19 ei qui revelat mysteria et ambulat fraudulenter et dilatat labia sua ne commiscearis

20 qui maledicit patri suo et matri extinguetur lucerna eius in mediis tenebris

21 hereditas ad quam festinatur in principio in novissimo benedictione carebit

22 ne dicas reddam malum expecta Dominum et liberabit te

23 abominatio est apud Deum pondus et pondus statera dolosa non est bona

24 a Domino diriguntur gressus viri quis autem hominum intellegere potest viam suam

25 ruina est hominis devorare sanctos et post vota tractare

26 dissipat impios rex sapiens et curvat super eos fornicem

27 lucerna Domini spiraculum hominis quae investigat omnia secreta ventris

28 misericordia et veritas custodiunt regem et roboratur clementia thronus eius

29 exultatio iuvenum fortitudo eorum et dignitas senum canities

30 livor vulneris absterget mala et plagae in secretioribus ventris
