New Testament

Proverbs 20:1-7 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.

6. Many people will say that they are loyal,but who can find a reliable person?

7. The righteous live with integrity;happy are their children who come after them.
