Proverbs 20:7-13
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 20

7A righteous person who walks in his integrity— How blessed are his sons after him. 8A king who sits on the throne of justice Disperses all evil with his eyes. 9Who 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. 11It is by his deeds that a boy distinguishes himself, If his conduct is pure and right. 12The hearing ear and the seeing eye, The Lord has made both of them. 13Do not love sleep, or you will become poor; Open your eyes, and you will be satisfied with food.
King James Version

Chapter 20

7The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.
8A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes.
9Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?
10Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the Lord.
11Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.
12The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the Lord hath made even both of them.
13Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 20

7A righteous person acts with integrity; his children who come after him will be happy.
8A king sitting on a throne to judge separates out all evil with his eyes.
9Who can say, "I have kept my heart pure; I am cleansed from my sin"?
10Differing weights and varying measures — both are detestable to the Lord.
11Even a young man is known by his actions— by whether his behavior is pure and upright.
12The hearing ear and the seeing eye— the Lord made them both.
13Don’t love sleep, or you will become poor; open your eyes, and you’ll have enough to eat.
New Living Translation

Chapter 20

7The godly walk with integrity; blessed are their children who follow them.
8When a king sits in judgment, he weighs all the evidence, distinguishing the bad from the good.
9Who can say, 'I have cleansed my heart; I am pure and free from sin'?
10False weights and unequal measures — the Lord detests double standards of every kind.
11Even children are known by the way they act, whether their conduct is pure, and whether it is right.
12Ears to hear and eyes to see — both are gifts from the Lord.
13If you love sleep, you will end in poverty. Keep your eyes open, and there will be plenty to eat!
English Standard Version

Chapter 20

7The righteous who walks in his integrity — blessed are his children after him! 8 A king who sits on the throne of judgment winnows all evil with his eyes. 9 Who can say, "I have made my heart pure; I am clean from my sin"? 10 Unequal weights and unequal measures are both alike an abomination to the Lord. 11Even a child makes himself known by his acts, by whether his conduct is pure and upright. 12 The hearing ear and the seeing eye, the Lord has made them both. 13 Love not sleep, lest you come to poverty; open your eyes, and you will have plenty of bread.
New International Version

Chapter 20

7The righteous lead blameless lives; blessed are their children after them.
8When a king sits on his throne to judge, he winnows out all evil with his eyes.
9Who can say, "I have kept my heart pure; I am clean and without sin"?
10Differing weights and differing measures— the Lord detests them both.
11Even small children are known by their actions, so is their conduct really pure and upright?
12Ears that hear and eyes that see— the Lord has made them both.
13Do not love sleep or you will grow poor; stay awake and you will have food to spare.
New King James Version

Chapter 20

7 The righteous man walks in his integrity; His children are blessed after him. 8A king who sits on the throne of judgment Scatters all evil with his eyes. 9 Who can say, “I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin”? 10 Diverse weights and diverse measures, They are both alike, an abomination to the Lord. 11Even a child is known by his deeds, Whether what he does is pure and right. 12 The hearing ear and the seeing eye, The Lord has made them both. 13 Do not love sleep, lest you come to poverty; Open your eyes, and you will be satisfied with bread.
