Proverbs 20:1-6 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

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.

6. Many say, “My loyal friend,”but who can find someone worthy of trust?
