Proverbs chapter 20

Bible Version
Book
Chapter
1
WineH3196 is a mocker,H3887 strong drinkH7941 is raging:H1993 and whoeverH3605 is deceivedH7686 thereby is not wise.H2449
2
The fearH367 of a kingH4428 is as the roaringH5099 of a lion:H3715 whoever provokesH5674 him to angerH5674 sinsH2398 against his own soul.H5315
3
It is an honorH3519 for a manH376 to ceaseH7674 from strife:H7379 but everyH3605 foolH191 will be meddling.H1566
4
The sluggardH6102 will not plowH2790 by reason of the cold;H2779 therefore shall he begH7592 in harvest,H7105 and have nothing.H369
5
CounselH6098 in the heartH3820 of manH376 is like deepH6013 water;H4325 but a manH376 of understandingH8394 will drawH1802 it out.
6
MostH7230 menH120 will proclaimH7121 everyH376 oneH376 his own goodness:H2617 but a faithfulH529 manH376 whoH4310 can find?H4672
7
The justH6662 man walksH1980 in his integrity:H8537 his childrenH1121 are blessedH835 afterH310 him.
8
A kingH4428 that sitsH3427 in the throneH3678 of judgmentH1779 scattersH2219 away allH3605 evilH7451 with his eyes.H5869
9
WhoH4310 can say,H559 I have made my heartH3820 clean,H2135 I am pureH2891 from my sin?H2403
10
Divers weights,H68 and divers measures,H374 bothH8147 of them are alikeH1571 abominationH8441 to the LORD.H3068
11
EvenH1571 a childH5288 is knownH5234 by his doings,H4611 whetherH518 his workH6467 be pure,H2134 and whetherH518 it be right.H3477
12
The hearingH8085 ear,H241 and the seeingH7200 eye,H5869 the LORDH3068 has madeH6213 evenH1571 bothH8147 of them.
13
LoveH157 not sleep,H8142 lestH6435 you come to poverty;H3423 openH6491 your eyes,H5869 and you shall be satisfiedH7646 with bread.H3899
14
It is naught,H7451 it is naught,H7451 saidH559 the buyer:H7069 but when he is goneH235 his way, thenH227 he boasts.H1984
15
There is gold,H2091 and a multitudeH7230 of rubies:H6443 but the lipsH8193 of knowledgeH1847 are a preciousH3366 jewel.H3627
16
TakeH3947 his garmentH899 that is suretyH6148 for a stranger:H2114 and takeH2254 a pledgeH2254 of him for a strangeH5237 woman.
17
BreadH3899 of deceitH8267 is sweetH6149 to a man;H376 but afterwardsH310 his mouthH6310 shall be filledH4390 with gravel.H2687
18
Every purposeH4284 is establishedH3559 by counsel:H6098 and with good adviceH8458 makeH6213 war.H4421
19
He that goesH1980 aboutH1980 as a talebearerH7400 revealsH1540 secrets:H5475 therefore meddleH6148 not with him that flattersH6601 with his lips.H8193
20
Whoever cursesH7043 his fatherH1 or his mother,H517 his lampH5216 shall be putH1846 out in obscureH380 darkness.H2822
21
An inheritanceH5159 may be gotten hastilyH926 at the beginning;H7223 but the endH319 thereof shall not be blessed.H1288
22
SayH559 not you, I will recompenseH7999 evil;H7451 but waitH6960 on the LORD,H3068 and he shall saveH3467 you.
23
Divers weightsH68 are an abominationH8441 to the LORD;H3068 and a falseH4820 balanceH3976 is not good.H2896
24
Man'sH1397 goingsH4703 are of the LORD;H3068 howH4100 can a manH120 then understandH995 his own way?H1870
25
It is a snareH4170 to the manH120 who devoursH3216 that which is holy,H6944 and afterH310 vowsH5088 to make inquiry.H1239
26
A wiseH2450 kingH4428 scattersH2219 the wicked,H7563 and bringsH7725 the wheelH212 overH5921 them.
27
The spiritH5397 of manH120 is the candleH5216 of the LORD,H3068 searchingH2664 allH3605 the inwardH2315 parts of the belly.H990
28
MercyH2617 and truthH571 preserveH5341 the king:H4428 and his throneH3678 is upheldH5582 by mercy.H2617
29
The gloryH8597 of youngH970 men is their strength:H3581 and the beautyH1926 of oldH2205 men is the greyH7872 head.
30
The bluenessH2250 of a woundH6482 cleansH8562 away evil:H7451 so do stripesH4347 the inwardH2315 parts of the belly.H990
