Proverbs 20:1-6 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

1. Wine is a mocker, beer is a brawler,and whoever staggers because of them is not wise.

2. A king’s terrible wrath is like the roaring of a lion;anyone who provokes him endangers himself.

3. It is honorable for a man to resolve a dispute, but any fool can get himself into a quarrel.

4. The slacker does not plow during planting season; at harvest time he looks, and there is nothing.

5. Counsel in a man’s heart is deep water; but a man of understanding draws it out.

6. Many a man proclaims his own loyalty,but who can find a trustworthy man?
