Proverbs 20:2-9 English Revised Version (ERV)

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

3. It is an honour for a man to keep aloof from strife: but every fool will be quarrelling.

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

5. Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.

6. Most men wilt proclaim every one his own kindness: but a faithful man who can find?

7. A just man that walketh in his integrity, blessed are his children after him.

8. A king that sitteth 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?
