Proverbs 20:2-7 Amplified Bible (AMP)

2. The terror of a king is as the roaring of a lion; whoever provokes him to anger or angers himself against him sins against his own life.

3. It is an honor for a man to cease from strife and keep aloof from it, but every fool will quarrel.

4. The sluggard does not plow when winter sets in; therefore he begs in harvest and has nothing.

5. Counsel in the heart of man is like water in a deep well, but a man of understanding draws it out. [Prov. 18:4.]

6. Many a man proclaims his own loving-kindness and goodness, but a faithful man who can find?

7. The righteous man walks in his integrity; blessed (happy, fortunate, enviable) are his children after him.
