| Proverbs 20 Text (WEB)
|
- Wine is a mocker, and beer is a brawler. Whoever is led astray by them is not wise.
- The terror of a king is like the roaring of a lion. He who provokes him to anger forfeits his own life.
- It is an honor for a man to keep aloof from strife; but every fool will be quarreling.
- The sluggard will not plow by reason of the winter; therefore he shall beg in harvest, and have nothing.
- Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.
- Many men claim to be men of unfailing love, but who can find a faithful man?
- A righteous man walks in integrity. Blessed are his children after him.
- A king who sits on the throne of judgment scatters away all evil with his eyes.
- Who can say, "I have made my heart pure. I am clean and without sin?"
- Differing weights and differing measures, both of them alike are an abomination to Yahweh.
- Even a child makes himself known by his doings, whether his work is pure, and whether it is right.
- The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, Yahweh has made even both of them.
- Don't love sleep, lest you come to poverty. Open your eyes, and you shall be satisfied with bread.
- "It's no good, it's no good," says the buyer; but when he is gone his way, then he boasts.
- There is gold and abundance of rubies; but the lips of knowledge are a rare jewel.
- Take the garment of one who puts up collateral for a stranger; and hold him in pledge for a wayward woman.
- Fraudulent food is sweet to a man, but afterwards his mouth is filled with gravel.
- Plans are established by advice; by wise guidance you wage war!
- He who goes about as a tale-bearer reveals secrets; therefore don't keep company with him who opens wide his lips.
- Whoever curses his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in blackness of darkness.
- An inheritance quickly gained at the beginning, won't be blessed in the end.
- Don't say, "I will pay back evil." Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you.
- Yahweh detests differing weights, and dishonest scales are not pleasing.
- A man's steps are from Yahweh; how then can man understand his way?
- It is a snare to a man to make a rash dedication, then later to consider his vows.
- A wise king winnows out the wicked, and drives the threshing wheel over them.
- The spirit of man is Yahweh's lamp, searching all his innermost parts.
- Love and faithfulness keep the king safe. His throne is sustained by love.
- The glory of young men is their strength. The splendor of old men is their gray hair.
- Wounding blows cleanse away evil, and beatings purge the innermost parts.

- לץ היין המה שכר וכל־שגה בו לא יחכם׃
- נהם ככפיר אימת מלך מתעברו חוטא נפשו׃
- כבוד לאיש שבת מריב וכל־אויל יתגלע׃
- מחרף עצל לא־יחרש בקציר ואין׃
- מים עמקים עצה בלב־איש ואיש תבונה ידלנה׃
- רב־אדם יקרא איש חסדו ואיש אמונים מי ימצא׃
- מתהלך בתמו צדיק אשרי בניו אחריו׃
- מלך יושב על־כסא־דין מזרה בעיניו כל־רע׃
- מי־יאמר זכיתי לבי טהרתי מחטאתי׃
- אבן ואבן איפה ואיפה תועבת יהוה גם־שניהם׃
- גם במעלליו יתנכר־נער אם־זך ואם־ישר פעלו׃
- אזן שמעת ועין ראה יהוה עשה גם־שניהם׃
- אל־תאהב שנה פן־תורש פקח עיניך שבע־לחם׃
- רע רע יאמר הקונה ואזל לו אז יתהלל׃
- יש זהב ורב־פנינים וכלי יקר שפתי־דעת׃
- לקח־בגדו כי־ערב זר ובעד חבלהו׃
- ערב לאיש לחם שקר ואחר ימלא־פיהו חץץ׃
- מחשבות בעצה תכון ובתחבלות עשה מלחמה׃
- גולה־סוד הולך רכיל ולפתה שפתיו לא תתערב׃
- מקלל אביו ואמו ידעך נרו חשך׃
- נחלה בראשנה ואחריתה לא תברך׃
- אל־תאמר אשלמה־רע קוה ליהוה וישע לך׃
- תועבת יהוה אבן ואבן ומאזני מרמה לא־טוב׃
- מיהוה מצעדי־גבר ואדם מה־יבין דרכו׃
- מוקש אדם ילע קדש ואחר נדרים לבקר׃
- מזרה רשעים מלך חכם וישב עליהם אופן׃
- נר יהוה נשמת אדם חפש כל־חדרי־בטן׃
- חסד ואמת יצרו־מלך וסעד בחסד כסאו׃
- תפארת בחורים כחם והדר זקנים שיבה׃
- חברות פצע ברע ומכות חדרי־בטן׃

| Proverbs 20 Text (Latin)
|
- Luxuriosa res vinum, et tumultuosa ebrietas : quicumque his delectatur non erit sapiens.
- Sicut rugitus leonis, ita et terror regis : qui provocat eum peccat in animam suam.
- Honor est homini qui separat se a contentionibus ; omnes autem stulti miscentur contumeliis.
- Propter frigus piger arare noluit ; mendicabit ergo æstate, et non dabitur illi.
- Sicut aqua profunda, sic consilium in corde viri ; sed homo sapiens exhauriet illud.
- Multi homines misericordes vocantur ; virum autem fidelem quis inveniet ?
- Justus qui ambulat in simplicitate sua beatos post se filios derelinquet.
- Rex qui sedet in solio judicii dissipat omne malum intuitu suo.
- Quis potest dicere : Mundum est cor meum ; purus sum a peccato ?
- Pondus et pondus, mensura et mensura : utrumque abominabile est apud Deum.
- Ex studiis suis intelligitur puer, si munda et recta sint opera ejus.
- Aurem audientem, et oculum videntem : Dominus fecit utrumque.
- Noli diligere somnum, ne te egestas opprimat ; aperi oculos tuos, et saturare panibus.
- Malum est, malum est, dicit omnis emptor ; et cum recesserit, tunc gloriabitur.
- Est aurum et multitudo gemmarum, et vas pretiosum labia scientiæ.
- Tolle vestimentum ejus qui fidejussor extitit alieni, et pro extraneis aufer pignus ab eo.
- Suavis est homini panis mendacii, et postea implebitur os ejus calculo.
- Cogitationes consiliis roborantur, et gubernaculis tractanda sunt bella.
- Ei qui revelat mysteria et ambulat fraudulenter, et dilatat labia sua, ne commiscearis.
- Qui maledicit patri suo et matri, extinguetur lucerna ejus in mediis tenebris,
- hæreditas ad quam festinatur in principio, in novissimo benedictione carebit.
- Ne dicas : Reddam malum : exspecta Dominum, et liberabit te.
- Abominatio est apud Dominum pondus et pondus ; statera dolosa non est bona.
- A Domino diriguntur gressus viri ; quis autem hominum intelligere potest viam suam ?
- Ruina est homini devorare sanctos, et post vota retractare.
- Dissipat impios rex sapiens, et incurvat super eos fornicem.
- Lucerna Domini spiraculum hominis, quæ investigat omnia secreta ventris.
- Misericordia et veritas custodiunt regem, et roboratur clementia thronus ejus.
- Exsultatio juvenum fortitudo eorum, et dignitas senum canities.
- Livor vulneris absterget mala, et plagæ in secretioribus ventris.

| Proverbs 20 Text (KJV)
|
- Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.
- The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion: whoso provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul.
- It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.
- The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.
- Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.
- Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?
- The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.
- A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes.
- Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?
- Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the LORD.
- Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.
- The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD hath made even both of them.
- Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.
- It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer: but when he is gone his way, then he boasteth.
- There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.
- Take his garment that is surety for a stranger: and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
- Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.
- Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.
- He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.
- Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.
- An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; but the end thereof shall not be blessed.
- Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee.
- Divers weights are an abomination unto the LORD; and a false balance is not good.
- Man's goings are of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way?
- It is a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy, and after vows to make inquiry.
- A wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth the wheel over them.
- The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.
- Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upholden by mercy.
- The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the gray head.
- The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly.
