| # Chapter 20
| Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whoever is deceived by it is not wise.
| The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion: whoever provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul.
| It is an honor for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.
| The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.
| Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.
| Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?
| The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.
| A king that sitteth on the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes.
| Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?
| Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the LORD.
| Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work is pure, and whether it is right.
| The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD hath made even both of them.
| Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thy eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.
| It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer: but when he is gone, then he boasteth.
| There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.
| Take his garment that is surety for a stranger: and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
| Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.
| Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.
| He that goeth about as a tale-bearer revealeth secrets; therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.
| Whoever curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.
| An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; but the end of it shall not be blessed.
| Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee.
| Divers weights are an abomination to the LORD; and a false balance is not good.
| Man's goings are of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way?
| It is a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy, and after vows to make inquiry.
| A wise king scatterreth the wicked, and bringeth the wheel over them.
| The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.
| Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upheld by mercy.
| The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the gray head.
| The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly.
