Proverbs 20:1-8 World Messianic Bible (WMB)

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.

8. A king who sits on the throne of judgmentscatters away all evil with his eyes.
