Proverbs 20:1-5 New Living Translation (NLT)

1. Wine produces mockers; alcohol leads to brawls.Those led astray by drink cannot be wise.

2. The king’s fury is like a lion’s roar;to rouse his anger is to risk your life.

3. Avoiding a fight is a mark of honor;only fools insist on quarreling.

4. Those too lazy to plow in the right seasonwill have no food at the harvest.

5. Though good advice lies deep within the heart,a person with understanding will draw it out.
