20:019:025 Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware:
and reprove one
that
hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.
20:019:026 He that wasteth his father, and chaseth
away his mother, is a
son
that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.
20:019:027 Cease, my son, to hear the instruction
that causeth to err
from
the words of knowledge.
20:019:028 An ungodly witness scorneth judgment:
and the mouth of the
wicked
devoureth iniquity.
20:019:029 Judgments are prepared for scorners, and
stripes for the back
of
fools.
20:020:001 Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging:
and whosoever is
deceived
thereby is not wise.
20:020:002 The fear of a king is as the roaring of
a lion: whoso
provoketh
him to anger sinneth against his own soul.
20:020:003 It is an honour for a man to cease from
strife: but every fool
will
be meddling.
20:020:004 The sluggard will not plow by reason of
the cold; therefore
shall
he beg in harvest, and have nothing.
20:020:005 Counsel in the heart of man is like deep
water; but a man of
understanding
will draw it out.
20:020:006 Most men will proclaim every one his own
goodness: but a
faithful
man who can find?
20:020:007 The just man walketh in his integrity:
his children are
blessed
after him.
20:020:008 A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment
scattereth away
all
evil with his eyes.
20:020:009 Who can say, I have made my heart clean,
I am pure from my
sin?
20:020:010 Divers weights, and divers measures, both
of them are alike
abomination
to the lord.
20:020:011 Even a child is known by his doings, whether
his work be pure,
and
whether it be right.
20:020:012 The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the
lord hath made even
both
of them.
20:020:013 Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty;
open thine eyes,
and
thou shalt be satisfied with bread.
20:020:014 It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer:
but when he is
gone
his way, then he boasteth.
20:020:015 There is gold, and a multitude of rubies:
but the lips of
knowledge
are a precious jewel.
20:020:016 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger:
and take a
pledge
of him for a strange woman.
20:020:017 Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but
afterwards his mouth
shall
be filled with gravel.
20:020:018 Every purpose is established by counsel:
and with good advice
make
war.
20:020:019 He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth
secrets:
therefore
meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.
