Proverbs 20 - Versions
Proverbs 20 Text (WEB)
  1. Wine is a mocker, and beer is a brawler. Whoever is led astray by them is not wise.
  2. The terror of a king is like the roaring of a lion. He who provokes him to anger forfeits his own life.
  3. It is an honor for a man to keep aloof from strife; but every fool will be quarreling.
  4. The sluggard will not plow by reason of the winter; therefore he shall beg in 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. Many men claim to be men of unfailing love, but who can find a faithful man?
  7. A righteous man walks in integrity. Blessed are his children after him.
  8. A king who sits on the throne of judgment scatters away all evil with his eyes.
  9. Who can say, "I have made my heart pure. I am clean and without sin?"
  10. Differing weights and differing measures, both of them alike are an abomination to Yahweh.
  11. Even a child makes himself known by his doings, whether his work is pure, and whether it is right.
  12. The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, Yahweh has made even both of them.
  13. Don't love sleep, lest you come to poverty. Open your eyes, and you shall be satisfied with bread.
  14. "It's no good, it's no good," says the buyer; but when he is gone his way, then he boasts.
  15. There is gold and abundance of rubies; but the lips of knowledge are a rare jewel.
  16. Take the garment of one who puts up collateral for a stranger; and hold him in pledge for a wayward woman.
  17. Fraudulent food is sweet to a man, but afterwards his mouth is filled with gravel.
  18. Plans are established by advice; by wise guidance you wage war!
  19. He who goes about as a tale-bearer reveals secrets; therefore don't keep company with him who opens wide his lips.
  20. Whoever curses his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in blackness of darkness.
  21. An inheritance quickly gained at the beginning, won't be blessed in the end.
  22. Don't say, "I will pay back evil." Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you.
  23. Yahweh detests differing weights, and dishonest scales are not pleasing.
  24. A man's steps are from Yahweh; how then can man understand his way?
  25. It is a snare to a man to make a rash dedication, then later to consider his vows.
  26. A wise king winnows out the wicked, and drives the threshing wheel over them.
  27. The spirit of man is Yahweh's lamp, searching all his innermost parts.
  28. Love and faithfulness keep the king safe. His throne is sustained by love.
  29. The glory of young men is their strength. The splendor of old men is their gray hair.
  30. Wounding blows cleanse away evil, and beatings purge the innermost parts.

  23. תועבת יהוה אבן ואבן ומאזני מרמה לא־טוב׃
  24. מיהוה מצעדי־גבר ואדם מה־יבין דרכו׃
  25. מוקש אדם ילע קדש ואחר נדרים לבקר׃
  26. מזרה רשעים מלך חכם וישב עליהם אופן׃
  27. נר יהוה נשמת אדם חפש כל־חדרי־בטן׃
  28. חסד ואמת יצרו־מלך וסעד בחסד כסאו׃
  29. תפארת בחורים כחם והדר זקנים שיבה׃
  30. חברות פצע ברע ומכות חדרי־בטן׃

  10. σταθμιον μεγα και μικρον και μετρα δισσα ακαθαρτα ενωπιον κυριου και
  11. και ο ποιων αυτα εν τοις επιτηδευμασιν αυτου συμποδισθησεται νεανισκος μετα οσιου και ευθεια η οδος

  30. υπωπια και συντριμματα συναντα κακοις πληγαι δε εις ταμιεια
Proverbs 20 Text (Latin)
  1. Luxuriosa res vinum, et tumultuosa ebrietas : quicumque his delectatur non erit sapiens.
  2. Sicut rugitus leonis, ita et terror regis : qui provocat eum peccat in animam suam.
  3. Honor est homini qui separat se a contentionibus ; omnes autem stulti miscentur contumeliis.
  4. Propter frigus piger arare noluit ; mendicabit ergo æstate, et non dabitur illi.
  5. Sicut aqua profunda, sic consilium in corde viri ; sed homo sapiens exhauriet illud.
  6. Multi homines misericordes vocantur ; virum autem fidelem quis inveniet ?
  7. Justus qui ambulat in simplicitate sua beatos post se filios derelinquet.
  8. Rex qui sedet in solio judicii dissipat omne malum intuitu suo.
  9. Quis potest dicere : Mundum est cor meum ; purus sum a peccato ?
  10. Pondus et pondus, mensura et mensura : utrumque abominabile est apud Deum.
  11. Ex studiis suis intelligitur puer, si munda et recta sint opera ejus.
  12. Aurem audientem, et oculum videntem : Dominus fecit utrumque.
  13. Noli diligere somnum, ne te egestas opprimat ; aperi oculos tuos, et saturare panibus.
  14. Malum est, malum est, dicit omnis emptor ; et cum recesserit, tunc gloriabitur.
  15. Est aurum et multitudo gemmarum, et vas pretiosum labia scientiæ.
  16. Tolle vestimentum ejus qui fidejussor extitit alieni, et pro extraneis aufer pignus ab eo.
  17. Suavis est homini panis mendacii, et postea implebitur os ejus calculo.
  18. Cogitationes consiliis roborantur, et gubernaculis tractanda sunt bella.
  19. Ei qui revelat mysteria et ambulat fraudulenter, et dilatat labia sua, ne commiscearis.
  20. Qui maledicit patri suo et matri, extinguetur lucerna ejus in mediis tenebris,
  21. hæreditas ad quam festinatur in principio, in novissimo benedictione carebit.
  22. Ne dicas : Reddam malum : exspecta Dominum, et liberabit te.
  23. Abominatio est apud Dominum pondus et pondus ; statera dolosa non est bona.
  24. A Domino diriguntur gressus viri ; quis autem hominum intelligere potest viam suam ?
  25. Ruina est homini devorare sanctos, et post vota retractare.
  26. Dissipat impios rex sapiens, et incurvat super eos fornicem.
  27. Lucerna Domini spiraculum hominis, quæ investigat omnia secreta ventris.
  28. Misericordia et veritas custodiunt regem, et roboratur clementia thronus ejus.
  29. Exsultatio juvenum fortitudo eorum, et dignitas senum canities.
  30. Livor vulneris absterget mala, et plagæ in secretioribus ventris.
Proverbs 20 Text (KJV)
  1. Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.
  2. The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion: whoso provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul.
  3. It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.
  4. The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in 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 every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?
  7. The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.
  8. A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes.
  9. Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?
  10. Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the LORD.
  11. Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.
  12. The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD hath made even both of them.
  13. Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.
  14. It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer: but when he is gone his way, then he boasteth.
  15. There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.
  16. Take his garment that is surety for a stranger: and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
  17. Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.
