Proverbs 20 New Century Version (NCV)20 Wine and beer make people loud and uncontrolled; 2 An angry king is like a roaring lion. 3 Foolish people are always fighting, 4 Lazy farmers don’t plow when they should; 5 People’s thoughts can be like a deep well, 6 Many people claim to be loyal, 7 The good people who live honest lives 8 When a king sits on his throne to judge, 9 No one can say, “I am innocent; 10 The Lord hates both these things: 11 Even children are known by their behavior; 12 The Lord has made both these things: 13 If you love to sleep, you will be poor. 14 Buyers say, “This is bad. It’s no good.” 15 There is gold and plenty of rubies, 16 Take the coat of someone who promises to pay a stranger’s debts, 17 Stolen food may taste sweet at first, 18 Get advice if you want your plans to work. 19 Gossips can’t keep secrets, 20 Those who curse their father or mother 21 Wealth inherited quickly in the beginning 22 Don’t say, “I’ll pay you back for the wrong you did.” 23 The Lord hates dishonest weights, 24 The Lord decides what a person will do; 25 It’s dangerous to promise something to God too quickly. 26 A wise king sorts out the evil people, 27 The Lord looks deep inside people 28 Loyalty and truth keep a king in power; 29 The young glory in their strength, 30 Hard punishment will get rid of evil,
