Proverb 20
Proverbs 20 (Amplified Bible)
Proverbs 20
1WINE IS a mocker, strong drink a riotous brawler; and whoever errs or reels because of it is not wise.(A) 2The terror of a king is as the roaring of a lion; whoever provokes him to anger or angers himself against him sins against his own life.3It is an honor for a man to cease from strife and keep aloof from it, but every fool will quarrel.
4The sluggard does not plow when winter sets in; therefore he begs in harvest and has nothing.
5Counsel in the heart of man is like water in a deep well, but a man of understanding draws it out.(B)
6Many a man proclaims his own loving-kindness and goodness, but a faithful man who can find?
7The righteous man walks in his integrity; blessed (happy, fortunate, enviable) are his children after him.
8A king who sits on the throne of judgment winnows out all evil [like chaff] with his eyes.
9Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?(C)
10Diverse weights [one for buying and another for selling] and diverse measures--both of them are exceedingly offensive and abhorrent to the Lord.(D)
11Even a child is known by his acts, whether [or not] what he does is pure and right.
12The hearing ear and the seeing eye--the Lord has made both of them.
13Love not sleep, lest you come to poverty; open your eyes and you will be satisfied with bread.
14It is worthless, it is worthless! says the buyer; but when he goes his way, then he boasts [about his bargain].
15There is gold, and a multitude of pearls, but the lips of knowledge are a vase of preciousness [the most precious of all].(E)
16[The judge tells the creditor] Take the garment of one who is security for a stranger; and hold him in pledge when he is security for foreigners.
17Food gained by deceit is sweet to a man, but afterward his mouth will be filled with gravel.
18Purposes and plans are established by counsel; and [only] with good advice make or carry on war.
19He who goes about as a talebearer reveals secrets; therefore associate not with him who talks too freely.(F)
20Whoever curses his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in complete darkness.
21An inheritance hastily gotten [by greedy, unjust means] at the beginning, in the end it will not be blessed.(G)
22Do not say, I will repay evil; wait [expectantly] for the Lord, and He will rescue you.(H)
23Diverse and deceitful weights are shamefully vile and abhorrent to the Lord, and false scales are not good.
24Man's steps are ordered by the Lord. How then can a man understand his way?
25It is a snare to a man to utter a vow [of consecration] rashly and [not until] afterward inquire [whether he can fulfill it].
26A wise king winnows out the wicked [from among the good] and brings the threshing wheel over them [to separate the chaff from the grain].
27The spirit of man [that factor in human personality which proceeds immediately from God] is the lamp of the Lord, searching all his innermost parts.(I)
28Loving-kindness and mercy, truth and faithfulness, preserve the king, and his throne is upheld by [the people's] loyalty.
29The glory of young men is their strength, and the beauty of old men is their gray head [suggesting wisdom and experience].
30Blows that wound cleanse away evil, and strokes [for correction] reach to the innermost parts.
Psalm 139
Psalm 139 (Amplified Bible)
Psalm 139
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
1O LORD, you have searched me [thoroughly] and have known me. 2You know my downsitting and my uprising; You understand my thought afar off.(A)3You sift and search out my path and my lying down, and You are acquainted with all my ways.
4For there is not a word in my tongue [still unuttered], but, behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.(B)
5You have beset me and shut me in--behind and before, and You have laid Your hand upon me.
6Your [infinite] knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high above me, I cannot reach it.
7Where could I go from Your Spirit? Or where could I flee from Your presence?
8If I ascend up into heaven, You are there; if I make my bed in Sheol (the place of the dead), behold, You are there.(C)
9If I take the wings of the morning or dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10Even there shall Your hand lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me.
11If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me and the night shall be [the only] light about me,
12Even the darkness hides nothing from You, but the night shines as the day; the darkness and the light are both alike to You.(D)
13For You did form my inward parts; You did knit me together in my mother's womb.
14I will confess and praise You for You are fearful and wonderful and for the awful wonder of my birth! Wonderful are Your works, and that my inner self knows right well.
15My frame was not hidden from You when I was being formed in secret [and] intricately and curiously wrought [as if embroidered with various colors] in the depths of the earth [a region of darkness and mystery].
16Your eyes saw my unformed substance, and in Your book all the days [of my life] were written before ever they took shape, when as yet there was none of them.
17How precious and weighty also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How vast is the sum of them!(E)
18If I could count them, they would be more in number than the sand. When I awoke, [could I count to the end] I would still be with You.
19If You would [only] slay the wicked, O God, and the men of blood depart from me--(F)
20Who speak against You wickedly, Your enemies who take Your name in vain!(G)
21Do I not hate them, O Lord, who hate You? And am I not grieved and do I not loathe those who rise up against You?
22I hate them with perfect hatred; they have become my enemies.
23Search me [thoroughly], O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts!
24And see if there is any wicked or hurtful way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
