Proverbs [Sayings] 20:7-15

⁷A upright man walks in integrity. Blessed are his children after him.

⁸A king who sits on the throne of judgment scatters away all evil with his eyes.

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

¹⁰Differing weights and differing measures, both of them alike are an abomination to Adonai .

¹¹Even a child makes himself known by his doings, whether his work is pure, and whether it is right.

¹²The sh'ma ·hearing obeying· ear, and the seeing eye, Adonai has made even both of them.

¹³Don’t 'ahav ·affectionately love· sleep, lest you come to poverty. Open your eyes, and you shall be satisfied with bread.

¹⁴“It’s no good, it’s no good,” says the buyer; but when he is gone his way, then he boasts.

¹⁵There is gold and abundance of rubies; but the lips of knowledge are a rare jewel.
