Proverbs
Chapters 20:2-8
Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version
2An angry king is like a roaring lion. If you make him angry, you could lose your life.
3People who refuse to argue deserve respect. Any fool can start an argument.
4Some people are too lazy to plant seeds. So at harvest time, they look for food and find nothing.
5Getting information from someone can be like getting water from a deep well. If you are smart, you will draw it out.
6You might call many people your “friends,” but it is hard to find someone who can really be trusted.
7When people live good, honest lives, their children are blessed.
8When the king sits and judges people, he must look carefully to separate the evil from the good.
