Proverbs 20:1-7 World English Bible (WEB)

1. Wine is a mocker, and beer is a brawler. Whoever is led astray by them is not wise.

2. The terror of a king is like the roaring of a lion. He who provokes him to anger forfeits his own life.

3. It is an honor for a man to keep aloof from strife; but every fool will be quarreling.

4. The sluggard 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. Many men claim to be men of unfailing love, but who can find a faithful man?

7. A righteous man walks in integrity. Blessed are his children after him.
