Proverbs 20:3-13

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.
11 Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure and whether it be right.
12 The hearing ear and the seeing eye, the LORD hath made even both of them.
13 Love not sleep lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.
