Proverbs 20

Whoever is led astray by them is not wise.

He who provokes him to anger forfeits his own life.

but every fool will be quarreling.

therefore he shall beg in harvest, and have nothing.

but a man of understanding will draw it out.

but who can find a faithful man?

Blessed are his children after him.

scatters away all evil with his eyes.

I am clean and without sin?”

both of them alike are an abomination to Yahweh.

whether his work is pure, and whether it is right.

Yahweh has made even both of them.

Open your eyes, and you shall be satisfied with bread.

but when he is gone his way, then he boasts.

but the lips of knowledge are a rare jewel.

and hold him in pledge for a wayward woman.

but afterwards his mouth is filled with gravel.

by wise guidance you wage war!

therefore don’t keep company with him who opens wide his lips.

his lamp shall be put out in blackness of darkness.

won’t be blessed in the end.

Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you.

and dishonest scales are not pleasing.

how then can man understand his way?

then later to consider his vows.

and drives the threshing wheel over them.

searching all his innermost parts.

His throne is sustained by love.

The splendor of old men is their gray hair.

and beatings purge the innermost parts.
