Bible. Proverbs
20:019:018 Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul
spare for his crying.
20:019:019 A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou
deliver him, yet thou must do it again.
20:019:020 Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be
wise in thy latter end.
20:019:021 There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the
counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.
20:019:022 The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better
than a liar.
20:019:023 The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it
shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.
20:019:024 A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so
much as bring it to his mouth again.
20:019:025 Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one
that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.
20:019:026 He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a
son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.
20:019:027 Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err
from the words of knowledge.
20:019:028 An ungodly witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the
wicked devoureth iniquity.
20:019:029 Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back
of fools.
20:020:001 Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is
deceived thereby is not wise.
20:020:002 The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion: whoso
provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul.
20:020:003 It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool
will be meddling.
20:020:004 The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore
shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.
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.
