New International Version

Proverbs 20:4-9 New International Version (NIV)

4. Sluggards do not plow in season; so at harvest time they look but find nothing.

5. The purposes of a person’s heart are deep waters, but one who has insight draws them out.

6. Many claim to have unfailing love, but a faithful person who can find?

7. The righteous lead blameless lives; blessed are their children after them.

8. When a king sits on his throne to judge, he winnows out all evil with his eyes.

9. Who can say, “I have kept my heart pure; I am clean and without sin”?
