Proverbs 20:4-13

⁴A slow man would not ear for cold; therefore he shall beg in summer, and men shall not give to him.

⁵As deep water, so counsel is in the heart of a man; but a wise man shall draw it out.

⁶Many men be called merciful; but who shall find a faithful man?

⁷Forsooth a just or rightwise man that goeth in his simpleness, shall leave blessed sons after him.

⁸A king that sitteth in the seat of doom, destroyeth all evil by his looking.

⁹Who may say, Mine heart is clean; I am clean of sin?

¹⁰A weight, greater in buying, and a weight, lesser in selling, a measure and a measure, ever either is abominable at God.

¹¹A child is understood by his studies, if his works be rightful or right and clean.

¹²An ear hearing, and an eye seeing, or The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, God made ever either.

¹³Do not thou love sleep, lest needi-ness oppress thee; open thine eyes, and be thou ful filled with loaves.
