Book 28 : KETUVIM - PROVERBS - Chapter 020
20:001
Wine is a mocker, strong drink is riotous; and whosoever
reeleth thereby is not wise
20:002
The terror of a king is as the roaring of a lion: he that
provoketh him to anger forfeiteth his life
20:003
It is an honour for a man to keep aloof from strife; but
every fool will be snarling
20:004
The sluggard will not plow when winter setteth in;
therefore he shall beg in harvest, and have nothing
20:005
Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man
of understanding will draw it out
20:006
Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness; but a
faithful man who can find
20:007
He that walketh in his integrity as a just man, happy are
his children after him
20:008
A king that sitteth on the throne of judgment scattereth
away all evil with his eyes
20:009
Who can say: 'I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my
sin'
20:010
Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them alike
are abomination to HaShem
20:011
Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be
pure, and whether it be right
20:012
The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, HaShem hath made even
both of them
20:013
Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine
eyes, and thou shalt have bread in plenty
20:014
'It is bad, it is bad', saith the buyer; but when he is
gone his way, then he boasteth
20:015
There is gold, and a multitude of rubies; but the lips of
knowledge are a precious jewel
20:016
Take his garment that is surety for a stranger; and hold
him in pledge that is surety for an alien woman
20:017
Bread of falsehood is sweet to a man; but afterwards his
mouth shall be filled with gravel
20:018
Every purpose is established by counsel; and with good
advice carry on war
20:019
He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets;
therefore meddle not with him that openeth wide his lips
20:020
Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be
put out in the blackest darkness
20:021
An estate may be gotten hastily at the beginning; but the
end thereof shall not be blessed
20:022
Say not thou: 'I will requite evil'; wait for HaShem, and
He will save thee
20:023
Divers weights are an abomination to HaShem; and a false
balance is not good
20:024
A man's goings are of HaShem; how then can man look to his
way
20:025
It is a snare to a man rashly to say: 'Holy', and after
vows to make inquiry
20:026
A wise king sifteth the wicked, and turneth the wheel over
them
20:027
The spirit of man is the lamp of HaShem, searching all the
inward parts
20:028
Mercy and truth preserve the king; and his throne is
upheld by mercy
20:029
The glory of young men is their strength; and the beauty
of old men is the hoary head
20:030
Sharp wounds cleanse away evil; so do stripes that reach
the inward parts
