Proverbs 20 Wine is intemperate, and drunkenness scornful. And with these every fool is entangled.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Wine is intemperate, and drunkenness scornful. And with these every fool is entangled. ² The threat of a king is like the rage of a lion; and he who provoketh him sinneth against his own life. ³ It is an honour to a man to abstain from railing; but with such things every fool is entangled. ⁴ Though a sluggard is reproached he is not ashamed: and the same is the case with him who borroweth corn in harvest. ⁵ Counsel in the heart of a man is deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it up. ⁶ A man is a great thing: and a merciful man a precious thing: but it is hard to find a faithful man. ⁷ He who conducteth himself spotless in justice shall leave behind him his children happy. ⁸ When a righteous king sitteth on a throne, nothing that is evil can stand his eyes. ⁹ Who can boast that he hath a clean heart? Or who can say with confidence that he is pure from sin? ¹⁰ Diverse weights and diverse measures are impure in the sight of the Lord. Yes, both they and he who useth them. ¹¹ A youth when in company with the godly, will be restrained in his devices and his way will be straight. ¹² The ear heareth and the eye seeth; and both are the work of the Lord. ¹³ Love not contradiction that thou mayst not be destroyed: open thine eyes and be filled with bread. ¹⁴ [Omitted] ¹⁵ [Omitted] ¹⁶ [Omitted] ¹⁷ [Omitted] ¹⁸ [Omitted] ¹⁹ [Omitted] ²⁰ Whosoever curseth father or mother; let his lamp be extinguished and his eye balls involved in darkness. ²¹ A portion got at first with too much haste will not at the last be blessed. ²² Do not say, I will take vengeance on an enemy; but wait for the Lord that he may help thee. ²³ A diverse weight is an abomination to the Lord: and a deceitful balance is not good in his sight. ²⁴ The steps for a man are plainly set forth by the Lord: how then should a mortal consider his ways! ²⁵ The hasty dedication of his property is a snare to a man for after the vow a change of mind happeneth. ²⁶ A wise king is a winnower of the wicked; and he will bring a wheel over them. ²⁷ The spirit of man is a light of the Lord, who searcheth the inward recesses of the body. ²⁸ Beneficence and truth are a guard to a king: and they will encompass his throne with justice. ²⁹ Wisdom is an ornament to young men: and grey hairs are the glory of the old. ³⁰ Blood shot eyes and bruises light upon bad men: and there are Wounds for the inner recesses of the body.
