Part 21

20:020:005 Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.

20:020:006 Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?

20:020:007 The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.

20:020:008 A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes.

20:020:009 Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?

20:020:010 Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the LORD.

20:020:011 Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.

20:020:012 The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD hath made even both of them.

20:020:013 Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.

20:020:014 It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer: but when he is gone his way, then he boasteth.

20:020:015 There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.

20:020:016 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger: and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.

20:020:017 Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.

20:020:018 Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.

20:020:019 He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.

20:020:020 Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.

20:020:021 An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; but the end thereof shall not be blessed.

20:020:022 Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee.

20:020:023 Divers weights are an abomination unto the LORD; and a false balance is not good.

20:020:024 Man's goings are of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way?

20:020:025 It is a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy, and after vows to make enquiry.

20:020:026 A wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth the wheel over them.

20:020:027 The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.

20:020:028 Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upholden by mercy.

20:020:029 The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the grey head.

20:020:030 The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly.

20:021:001 The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.

20:021:002 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts.
