Proverbs Book #20

Proverbs Book 20


For the last 2 weeks, all I've concentrated on is 'all things Katrina.'

Our Church, New Hope (http://www.newhopetn.org/) has
been involved with Katrina at ...(http://www.disastercare.com/)
as well as a physical move to a new campus.

I've had zero time for this blog. I apologize.

=====================================================

Proverbs 20

Wine is a mocker, Strong drink is a brawler, And whoever
is led astray by it is not wise.

2 The wrath of a king is like the roaring of a lion;
Whoever provokes him to anger sins against his own
life.

3 It is honorable for a man to stop striving, Since
any fool can start a quarrel.

4 The lazy man will not plow because of winter; He will
beg during 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 each his own goodness, But who
can find a faithful man?

7 The righteous man walks in his integrity; His children
are blessed after him.

8 A 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.

11 Even 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.

14 "It is good for nothing," cries the buyer; But when
he has gone his way, then he boasts.

15 There is gold and a multitude of rubies, But the
lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.

16 Take the garment of one who is surety for a stranger,
And hold it as a pledge when it is for a seductress.

17 Bread gained by deceit is sweet to a man, But
afterward his mouth will be filled with gravel.

18 Plans are established by counsel; By wise counsel
wage war.

19 He who goes about as a talebearer reveals secrets;
Therefore do not associate with one who flatters with
his lips.

20 Whoever curses his father or his mother, His lamp
will be put out in deep darkness.

21 An inheritance gained hastily at the beginning Will
not be blessed at the end.

22 Do not say, "I will recompense evil"; Wait for the
Lord, and He will save you.

23 Diverse weights are an abomination to the Lord, And
dishonest scales are not good.

24 A man's steps are of the Lord; How then can a man
understand his own way?

25 It is a snare for a man to devote rashly something
as holy, And afterward to reconsider his vows.

26 A wise king sifts out the wicked, And brings the
threshing wheel over them.

27 The spirit of a man is the lamp of the Lord, Searching
all the inner depths of his heart.

28 Mercy and truth preserve the king, And by lovingkindness
he upholds his throne.

29 The glory of young men is their strength, And the
splendor of old men is their gray head.

30 Blows that hurt cleanse away evil, As do stripes the
inner depths of the heart.

God Bless you -
