Proverbs 20:1-5 Common English Bible (CEB)

1. Wine is a mocker; beer a carouser.Those it leads astray won’t become wise.

2. A king is as terrifying as a lion’s growl.Those who anger him may lose their life.

3. It is honorable to back off from a fight,but fools jump right in.

4. The lazy don’t plow during winter;at harvest they look but find nothing.

5. Advice comes from the deep waters of the heart;those with understanding can draw it out.
