Proverbs 20:4-12 New English Translation (NET)

4. The sluggard will not plow during the planting season,so at harvest time he looks for the crop but has nothing.

5. Counsel in a person’s heart is like deep water,but an understanding person draws it out.

6. Many people profess their loyalty,but a faithful person – who can find?

7. The righteous person behaves in integrity; blessed are his children after him.

8. A king sitting on the throne to judgeseparates out all evil with his eyes.

9. Who can say, “I have kept my heart clean;I am pure from my sin”?

10. Diverse weights and diverse measures – the Lord abhors both of them.

11. Even a young man is known by his actions,whether his activity is pure and whether it is right.

12. The ear that hears and the eye that sees – the Lord has made them both.
