Proverbs
Chapters 20:8-14
New International Version Anglicized
8When a king sits on his throne to judge,he winnows out all evil with his eyes.
9Who can say, ‘I have kept my heart pure;I am clean and without sin’?
10Differing weights and differing measures –the Lord detests them both.
11Even small children are known by their actions,so is their conduct really pure and upright?
12Ears that hear and eyes that see –the Lord has made them both.
13Do not love sleep or you will grow poor;stay awake and you will have food to spare.
14‘It’s no good, it’s no good!’ says the buyer –then goes off and boasts about the purchase.
