Proverbs 20:3-9 New King James Version (NKJV)

3. It is honorable for a man to stop striving,Since any fool can start a quarrel.

4. The lazy man will not plow because of winter;He will beg during harvest and have nothing.

5. Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water,But a man of understanding will draw it out.

6. Most men will proclaim each his own goodness,But who can find a faithful man?

7. The righteous man walks in his integrity;His children are blessed after him.

8. A king who sits on the throne of judgmentScatters all evil with his eyes.

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