Proverbs 20
-
1 Wine
is a scorner--strong drink is noisy, And any going astray in it is not wise. -
2 The fear of a king
is a growl as of a young lion, He who is causing him to be wroth is wronging his soul. - 3 An honour to a man is cessation from strife, And every fool intermeddleth.
- 4 Because of winter the slothful plougheth not, He asketh in harvest, and there is nothing.
-
5 Counsel in the heart of a man
is deep water, And a man of understanding draweth it up. - 6 A multitude of men proclaim each his kindness, And a man of stedfastness who doth find?
- 7 The righteous is walking habitually in his integrity, O the happiness of his sons after him!
- 8 A king sitting on a throne of judgment, Is scattering with his eyes all evil,
- 9 Who saith, `I have purified my heart, I have been cleansed from my sin?'
-
10 A stone and a stone, an ephah and an ephah, Even both of them
are an abomination to Jehovah. - 11 Even by his actions a youth maketh himself known, Whether his work be pure or upright.
- 12 A hearing ear, and a seeing eye, Jehovah hath made even both of them.
-
13 Love not sleep, lest thou become poor, Open thine eyes--be satisfied
with bread. - 14 `Bad, bad,' saith the buyer, And going his way then he boasteth himself.
-
15 Substance, gold, and a multitude of rubies, Yea, a precious vessel,
are lips of knowledge. - 16 Take his garment when a stranger hath been surety, And for strangers pledge it.
-
17 Sweet to a man
is the bread of falsehood, And afterwards is his mouth filled with gravel. - 18 Purposes by counsel thou dost establish, And with plans make thou war.
-
19 A revealer of secret counsels is the busybody, And for a deceiver
with his lips make not thyself surety. - 20 Whoso is vilifying his father and his mother, Extinguished is his lamp in blackness of darkness.
- 21 An inheritance gotten wrongly at first, Even its latter end is not blessed.
- 22 Do not say, `I recompense evil,' Wait for Jehovah, and He delivereth thee.
-
23 An abomination to Jehovah
are a stone and a stone, And balances of deceit are not good. -
24 From Jehovah
are the steps of a man, And man--how understandeth he his way? -
25 A snare to a man
is he hath swallowed a holy thing, And after vows to make inquiry. - 26 A wise king is scattering the wicked, And turneth back on them the wheel.
-
27 The breath of man
is a lamp of Jehovah, Searching all the inner parts of the heart. - 28 Kindness and truth keep a king, And he hath supported by kindness his throne.
- 29 The beauty of young men is their strength, And the honour of old men is grey hairs.
- 30 The bandages of a wound thou removest with the evil, Also the plagues of the inner parts of the heart!
