Proverbs 20:1-5 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. Wine is arrogant, strong drink is riotous;none who are intoxicated by them are wise.

2. The terror of a king is like the roar of a lion;those who incur his anger forfeit their lives.

3. A person gains honor by avoiding strife,while every fool starts a quarrel.

4. In seedtime sluggards do not plow;when they look for the harvest, it is not there.

5. The intention of the human heart is deep water,but the intelligent draw it forth.
