Proverbs 20:3-9

1. 3 It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.

2. 4 The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.

3. 5 Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.

4. 6 Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?

5. 7 The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.

6. 8 A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes.

7. 9 Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?
