Proverbs 20:1-6

1. 1 Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.

2. 2 The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion: whoso provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul.

3. 3 It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.

4. 4 The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.

5. 5 Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.

6. 6 Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?
