Proverbs 20:1-10

1 Wine is a mocker, strong drink is enraging; and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.

2 The wrath of a king is as the roaring of a lion; whoso provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul.

3 It is an honor for a man to cease from strife, but every fool will be meddling.

4 The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest and have nothing.

5 Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water, but a man of understanding will draw it out.

6 Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness; but a faithful man, who can find?

7 The just man walketh in his integrity; his children are blessed after him.

8 A king that sitteth on the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes.

9 Who can say, "I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin"?

10 Differing weights and differing measures--both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD.
