Proverbs 20

20Wine is a mocker, strong drink a brawler, and whoever is led astray by it is not wise.H3196H3887H7941H1993H7686H24492The dread anger of a king is like the growling of a lion; anyone who provokes him to anger forfeits life itself.H367H4428H5099H3715H5674H2398H53153It is honorable to refrain from strife, but every fool is quick to quarrel.H3519H376H7674H7379H191H15664The lazy person does not plow in season; harvest comes, and there is nothing to be found.H6102H2790H2779H7592H7592H71055The purposes in the human mind are like deep water, but the intelligent will draw them out.H6098H3820H376H6013H4325H376H8394H18026Many proclaim themselves loyal, but who can find one worthy of trust?H7230H120H7121H376H2617H529H376H46727The righteous walk in integrity—happy are the children who follow them!H6662H1980H8537H1121H835H3108A king who sits on the throne of judgment winnows all evil with his eyes.H4428H3427H3678H1779H2219H7451H58699Who can say, "I have made my heart clean; I am pure from my sin"?H559H3820H2135H2891H240310Diverse weights and diverse measures are both alike an abomination to the LORD.H68H68H374H374H8147H1571H8441H306811Even children make themselves known by their acts, by whether what they do is pure and right.H5288H5234H4611H6467H2134H347712The hearing ear and the seeing eye—the LORD has made them both.H8085H241H7200H5869H3068H6213H814713Do not love sleep, or else you will come to poverty; open your eyes, and you will have plenty of bread.H157H8142H3423H6491H5869H7646H389914"Bad, bad," says the buyer, then goes away and boasts.H7451H7451H559H7069H235H198415There is gold, and abundance of costly stones; but the lips informed by knowledge are a precious jewel.H3426H2091H7230H6443H8193H1847H3366H362716Take the garment of one who has given surety for a stranger; seize the pledge given as surety for foreigners.H3947H899H6148H2114H2254H523717Bread gained by deceit is sweet, but afterward the mouth will be full of gravel.H3899H8267H6156H376H310H6310H4390H268718Plans are established by taking advice; wage war by following wise guidance.H4284H3559H6098H8458H6213H442119A gossip reveals secrets; therefore do not associate with a babbler.H1980H7400H1540H5475H6148H6601H819320If you curse father or mother, your lamp will go out in utter darkness.H7043H1H517H5216H1846H380H380H282221An estate quickly acquired in the beginning will not be blessed in the end.H5159H926H973H7223H319H128822Do not say, "I will repay evil"; wait for the LORD, and he will help you.H559H7999H7451H6960H3068H346723Differing weights are an abomination to the LORD, and false scales are not good.H68H68H8441H3068H4820H3976H289624All our steps are ordered by the LORD; how then can we understand our own ways?H1397H4703H3068H120H995H187025It is a snare for one to say rashly, "It is holy," and begin to reflect only after making a vow.H4170H120H3216H6944H310H5088H123926A wise king winnows the wicked, and drives the wheel over them.H2450H4428H2219H7563H7725H21227The human spirit is the lamp of the LORD, searching every innermost part.H5397H120H5216H3068H2664H2315H99028Loyalty and faithfulness preserve the king, and his throne is upheld by righteousness.H2617H571H5341H4428H3678H5582H261729The glory of youths is their strength, but the beauty of the aged is their gray hair.H8597H970H3581H1926H2205H787230Blows that wound cleanse away evil; beatings make clean the innermost parts.H2250H6482H8562H7451H4347H2315H990

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
