Proverbs 20
New International Version

1Wine(A) is a mocker(B) and beer a brawler; whoever is led astray(C) by them is not wise.(D)

2 A king’s wrath strikes terror like the roar of a lion;(E)
those who anger him forfeit their lives.(F)

3 It is to one’s honor to avoid strife, but every fool(G) is quick to quarrel.(H)

4 Sluggards(I) do not plow in season; so at harvest time they look but find nothing.(J)

5 The purposes of a person’s heart are deep waters,(K)
but one who has insight draws them out.

6 Many claim to have unfailing love, but a faithful person who can find?(L)

7 The righteous lead blameless lives;(M) blessed are their children after them.(N)

8 When a king sits on his throne to judge,(O) he winnows out all evil with his eyes.(P)

9 Who can say, “I have kept my heart pure;(Q) I am clean and without sin”?(R).

10 Differing weights and differing measures—the Lord detests them both.(S)
