Proverbs 20:1-10 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

1. Wine is a scorner, strong drink is raging; and whoso erreth thereby is not wise.

2. The terror of a king is as the roaring of a lion: he that provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul.

3. It is an honour for a man to cease from strife; but every fool rusheth into it.

4. The sluggard will not plough by reason of the winter; he shall beg in harvest, and have nothing.

5. Counsel in the heart of man is deep water, and a man of understanding draweth it out.

6. Most men will proclaim every one his own kindness; but a faithful man who shall find?

7. The righteous walketh in his integrity: blessed are his children after him!

8. A king sitting on the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes.

9. Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?

10. Divers weights, divers measures, even both of them are abomination to Jehovah.
