Proverbs 20:7-14 Amplified Bible (AMP)

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

8. A king who sits on the throne of judgment winnows out all evil [like chaff] with his eyes.

9. Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin? [I Kings 8:46; II Chron. 6:36; Job 9:30; 14:4; Ps. 51:5; I John 1:8.]

10. Diverse weights [one for buying and another for selling] and diverse measures–both of them are exceedingly offensive and abhorrent to the Lord. [Deut. 25:13; Mic. 6:10, 11.]

11. Even a child is known by his acts, whether [or not] what he does is pure and right.

12. The hearing ear and the seeing eye–the Lord has made both of them.

13. Love not sleep, lest you come to poverty; open your eyes and you will be satisfied with bread.

14. It is worthless, it is worthless! says the buyer; but when he goes his way, then he boasts [about his bargain].
