Proverbs 20:1-7

1 Wine causes you to make fun of others, and beer causes you to start fights. Anyone who is led down the wrong path by them is not wise.

2 A king's anger is like a lion's roar. Anyone who makes him angry may lose his life.

3 Avoiding a fight brings honor to a man. But every foolish person is quick to argue.

4 Anyone who refuses to work doesn't plow in the right season. When he looks for a crop at harvest time, he doesn't find it.

5 The purposes of a man's heart are like deep water. But a man who has understanding brings them out.

6 Many claim to have love that never fails. But who can find a faithful man?

7 Anyone who does what is right lives without blame. Blessed are his children after him.
