Proverbs 20:1-7

20:1

Wine
<03196>

[is] a mocker
<03887> (8801)_,

strong drink
<07941>

[is] raging
<01993> (8802)_:

and whosoever is deceived
<07686> (8802)

thereby is not wise
<02449> (8799)_.

20:2

The fear
<0367>

of a king
<04428>

[is] as the roaring
<05099>

of a lion
<03715>_:

[whoso] provoketh him to anger
<05674> (8693)

sinneth
<02398> (8802)

[against] his own soul
<05315>_.

20:3

[It is] an honour
<03519>

for a man
<0376>

to cease
<07674>

from strife
<07379>_:

but every fool
<0191>

will be meddling
<01566> (8691)_.

20:4

The sluggard
<06102>

will not plow
<02790> (8799)

by reason of the cold
<02779>_;

[therefore] shall he beg
<07592> (8804) (8675) <07592> (8799)

in harvest
<07105>_,

and [have] nothing. {cold: or, winter}

20:5

Counsel
<06098>

in the heart
<03820>

of man
<0376>

[is like] deep
<06013>

water
<04325>_;

but a man
<0376>

of understanding
<08394>

will draw it out
<01802> (8799)_.

20:6

Most
<07230>

men
<0120>

will proclaim
<07121> (8799)

every one
<0376>

his own goodness
<02617>_:

but a faithful
<0529>

man
<0376>

who can find
<04672> (8799)_?

{goodness: or, bounty}

20:7

The just
<06662>

[man] walketh
<01980> (8693)

in his integrity
<08537>_:

his children
<01121>

[are] blessed
<0835>

after
<0310>

him.
