Proverbs 20:16-30

Take
<03947> (8798)

his garment
<0899>

that is surety
<06148> (8804)

[for] a stranger
<02114> (8801)_:

and take a pledge
<02254> (8798)

of him for a strange woman
<05237>_.

Bread
<03899>

of deceit
<08267>

[is] sweet
<06156>

to a man
<0376>_;

but afterwards
<0310>

his mouth
<06310>

shall be filled
<04390> (8735)

with gravel
<02687>_.

{deceit: Heb. lying, or, falsehood}

[Every] purpose
<04284>

is established
<03559> (8735)

by counsel
<06098>_:

and with good advice
<08458>

make
<06213> (8798)

war
<04421>_.

He that goeth about
<01980> (8802)

[as] a talebearer
<07400>

revealeth
<01540> (8802)

secrets
<05475>_:

therefore meddle
<06148> (8691)

not with him that flattereth
<06601> (8802)

with his lips
<08193>_.

{flattereth: or, enticeth}

Whoso curseth
<07043> (8764)

his father
<01>

or his mother
<0517>_,

his lamp
<05216>

shall be put out
<01846> (8799)

in obscure
<0380> (8676) <0380>

darkness
<02822>_.

{lamp: or, candle}

An inheritance
<05159>

[may be] gotten hastily
<0926> (8794) (8675) <0973> (8794)

at the beginning
<07223>_;

but the end
<0319>

thereof shall not be blessed
<01288> (8792)_.

Say
<0559> (8799)

not thou, I will recompense
<07999> (8762)

evil
<07451>_;

[but] wait on
<06960> (8761)

the LORD
<03068>_,

and he shall save
<03467> (8686)

thee.

Divers weights
<068> <068>

[are] an abomination
<08441>

unto the LORD
<03068>_;

and a false
<04820>

balance
<03976>

[is] not good
<02896>_.

{a false...: Heb. balance of deceit}

Man's
<01397>

goings
<04703>

[are] of the LORD
<03068>_;

how can a man
<0120>

then understand
<0995> (8799)

his own way
<01870>_?

[It is] a snare
<04170>

to the man
<0120>

[who] devoureth
<03216> (8804)

[that which is] holy
<06944>_,

and after
<0310>

vows
<05088>

to make enquiry
<01239> (8763)_.

A wise
<02450>

king
<04428>

scattereth
<02219> (8764)

the wicked
<07563>_,

and bringeth
<07725> (8686)

the wheel
<0212>

over them.

The spirit
<05397>

of man
<0120>

[is] the candle
<05216>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

searching
<02664> (8802)

all the inward parts
<02315>

of the belly
<0990>_.

{candle: or, lamp}

Mercy
<02617>

and truth
<0571>

preserve
<05341> (8799)

the king
<04428>_:

and his throne
<03678>

is upholden
<05582> (8804)

by mercy
<02617>_.

The glory
<08597>

of young men
<0970>

[is] their strength
<03581>_:

and the beauty
<01926>

of old men
<02205>

[is] the gray head
<07872>_.

The blueness
<02250>

of a wound
<06482>

cleanseth
<08562>

away evil
<07451>_:

so [do] stripes
<04347>

the inward parts
<02315>

of the belly
<0990>_.

{cleanseth...: Heb. is a purging medicine against}
