Proverbs 20:6-14 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

6. Most men proclaim each his own kindness, But who finds a trustworthy man?

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

8. A sovereign who sits on the throne of judgment Is scattering all evil with his eyes.

9. Who says, “I have cleansed my heart, I am purged of my sin”?

10. Differing weights and differing measures, Both of them are an abomination to יהוה.

11. Even a child is known by his deeds, Whether his work is clear and right.

12. The hearing ear and the seeing eye, יהוה has made both of them.

13. Do not love sleep, lest you become poor; Open your eyes, be satisfied with bread.

14. “Evil! Evil!” cries the buyer; But when he has gone his way, then he boasts.
