Proverbs 20:3-6

³It is honour to a man that separateth himself from strivings; but fond men be meddled with despisings. (It is honourable for someone to separate himself from strife, or from arguments; but the foolish shall mix, or mingle, themselves in with arguments.)

⁴A slow man would not ear for cold; therefore he shall beg in summer, and men shall not give to him. (A lazy person will not plow when it is cold; then at harvest time he shall beg, but others shall not give him anything.)

⁵As deep water, so counsel is in the heart of a man; but a wise man shall draw it out. (Advice in a person’s heart (can be) like deep water or (can be) as deep as the water; but a wise person shall draw it out.)

⁶Many men be called merciful; but who shall find a faithful man? (Many people be called, or be thought to be, merciful; but who shall truly find a faithful person?)
