Proverbs 20:1-10

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.
