Proverbs 20:3-12
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 20
3
Avoiding strife is an honor for a person,
But any fool will quarrel.
4
The lazy one does not plow after the autumn,
So he begs during the harvest and has nothing.
5
A plan in the heart of a person is
like
deep water,
But a person of understanding draws it out.
6
Many a person proclaims his own loyalty,
But who can find a trustworthy person?
7
A righteous person who walks in his integrity—
How blessed are his sons after him.
8
A king who sits on the throne of justice
Disperses all evil with his eyes.
9
Who can say, 'I have cleansed my heart,
I am pure from my sin'?
10
Differing weights and differing measures,
Both of them are abominable to the
Lord
.
11
It is by his deeds that a boy distinguishes himself,
If his conduct is pure and right.
12
The hearing ear and the seeing eye,
The
Lord
has made both of them.
King James Version
Chapter 20
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.

will have no food at the harvest.
5

blessed are their children who follow them.
8
When a king sits in judgment, he weighs all the evidence,
distinguishing the bad from the good.
9
Who can say, 'I have cleansed my heart;
I am pure and free from sin'?
10
False weights and unequal measures —
the
Lord
detests double standards of every kind.
11
Even children are known by the way they act,
whether their conduct is pure, and whether it is right.
12
Ears to hear and eyes to see —
both are gifts from the
Lord
.
