Proverbs Chapter 20 - King James Strong Number Version

1: Wine <H3196> [is] a mocker, <H3887> strong drink <H7941> [is] raging: <H1993> and whosoever is deceived <H7686> thereby is not wise. <H2449>
2: The fear <H0367> of a king <H4428> [is] as the roaring <H5099> of a lion: <H3715> [whoso] provoketh him to anger <H5674> sinneth <H2398> [against] his own soul. <H5315>
3: [It is] an honour <H3519> for a man <H0376> to cease <H7674> from strife: <H7379> but every fool <H0191> will be meddling. <H1566>
4: The sluggard <H6102> will not plow <H2790> by reason of the cold; <H2779> [therefore] shall he beg <H7592> in harvest, <H7105> and [have] nothing.
5: Counsel <H6098> in the heart <H3820> of man <H0376> [is like] deep <H6013> water; <H4325> but a man <H0376> of understanding <H8394> will draw it out. <H1802>
6: Most <H7230> men <H0120> will proclaim <H7121> every one <H0376> his own goodness: <H2617> but a faithful <H0529> man <H0376> who can find? <H4672>
7: The just <H6662> [man] walketh <H1980> in his integrity: <H8537> his children <H1121> [are] blessed <H0835> after <H0310> him.
8: A king <H4428> that sitteth <H3427> in the throne <H3678> of judgment <H1779> scattereth away <H2219> all evil <H7451> with his eyes. <H5869>
9: Who can say, <H0559> I have made my heart <H3820> clean, <H2135> I am pure <H2891> from my sin? <H2403>
10: Divers weights, <H0068> <H0068> [and] divers measures, <H0374> <H0374> both <H8147> of them [are] alike <H1571> abomination <H8441> to the LORD. <H3068>
11: Even a child <H5288> is known <H5234> by his doings, <H4611> whether his work <H6467> [be] pure, <H2134> and whether [it be] right. <H3477>
12: The hearing <H8085> ear, <H0241> and the seeing <H7200> eye, <H5869> the LORD <H3068> hath made <H6213> even both <H8147> of them.
13: Love <H0157> not sleep, <H8142> lest thou come to poverty; <H3423> open <H6491> thine eyes, <H5869> [and] thou shalt be satisfied <H7646> with bread. <H3899>
14: [It is] naught, <H7451> [it is] naught, <H7451> saith <H0559> the buyer: <H7069> but when he is gone <H0235> his way, then he boasteth. <H1984>
15: There is <H3426> gold, <H2091> and a multitude <H7230> of rubies: <H6443> but the lips <H8193> of knowledge <H1847> [are] a precious <H3366> jewel. <H3627>
16: Take <H3947> his garment <H0899> that is surety <H6148> [for] a stranger: <H2114> and take a pledge <H2254> of him for a strange <H5237> woman.
17: Bread <H3899> of deceit <H8267> [is] sweet <H6156> to a man; <H0376> but afterwards <H0310> his mouth <H6310> shall be filled <H4390> with gravel. <H2687>
18: [Every] purpose <H4284> is established <H3559> by counsel: <H6098> and with good advice <H8458> make <H6213> war. <H4421>
19: He that goeth about <H1980> [as] a talebearer <H7400> revealeth <H1540> secrets: <H5475> therefore meddle <H6148> not with him that flattereth <H6601> with his lips. <H8193>
20: Whoso curseth <H7043> his father <H0001> or his mother, <H0517> his lamp <H5216> shall be put out <H1846> in obscure <H0380><H0380> darkness. <H2822>
21: An inheritance <H5159> [may be] gotten hastily <H0926> at the beginning; <H7223> but the end thereof <H0319> shall not be blessed. <H1288>
22: Say <H0559> not thou, I will recompense <H7999> evil; <H7451> [but] wait <H6960> on the LORD, <H3068> and he shall save <H3467> thee.
23: Divers weights <H0068> <H0068> [are] an abomination <H8441> unto the LORD; <H3068> and a false <H4820> balance <H3976> [is] not good. <H2896>
24: Man's <H1397> goings <H4703> [are] of the LORD; <H3068> how can a man <H0120> then understand <H0995> his own way? <H1870>
25: [It is] a snare <H4170> to the man <H0120> [who] devoureth <H3216> [that which is] holy, <H6944> and after <H0310> vows <H5088> to make enquiry. <H1239>
26: A wise <H2450> king <H4428> scattereth <H2219> the wicked, <H7563> and bringeth <H7725> the wheel <H0212> over them.
27: The spirit <H5397> of man <H0120> [is] the candle <H5216> of the LORD, <H3068> searching <H2664> all the inward parts <H2315> of the belly. <H0990>
28: Mercy <H2617> and truth <H0571> preserve <H5341> the king: <H4428> and his throne <H3678> is upholden <H5582> by mercy. <H2617>
29: The glory <H8597> of young men <H0970> [is] their strength: <H3581> and the beauty <H1926> of old men <H2205> [is] the grey head. <H7872>
30: The blueness <H2250> of a wound <H6482> cleanseth <H8562> away evil: <H7451> so [do] stripes <H4347> the inward parts <H2315> of the belly. <H0990>
