Proverbs 20

Gen Z: Proverbs 20

1Wine's a total vibe killer, and strong drinks got that rage energy: if you get played by it, you ain't wise, no cap.

2Fear of a king hits different, like a lion's roar: if you poke the bear, you're just messin' with your own soul.

3It's mad chill for a dude to chill on drama: but every fool just can't help but stir the pot.

4The lazy dude won't even hit the fields 'cause it's cold; so when harvest time comes, he's out here begging, no cap.

5Thoughts in a guy's heart are like deep water; but a wise dude will pull that knowledge up, fr.

6Most guys flex their own goodness: but a real one, where you at?

7A righteous dude walks with integrity: his kids are blessed, periodt.

8A king on the judgment throne sees all the sus stuff and just shuts it down with a look.

9Who can flex and say, "I got a clean heart, I'm pure from my sins?"

10Different weights and measures? Both are straight-up vibes killers to the Lord.

11Even a kid's vibe is known by their actions, whether they're pure or straight up right.

12The Lord made ears to hear and eyes to see, no cap.

13Don’t be all about that sleep life, or you’ll end up broke; open your eyes and you’ll score some bread.

14The buyer’s like, "This is trash," but once they bounce, they flex about it.

15There’s gold and a ton of rubies, but knowledge drops are the real treasure, fr.

16Snag the coat of someone who’s a stranger’s hype man, and get a pledge from him for some unknown girl.

17Sweet lies are tempting, but later, you’ll be munching on rocks, periodt.

18Every plan gets locked in with advice: strategize well before going to war, bet.

19The gossip spreads secrets, so don’t mess with those who butter you up with flattery, sus.

20Anyone who disses their parents will have their light snuffed out in the shadows.

21Getting an inheritance quick might seem lit at first, but it ain't blessed in the end, no cap.

22Don’t be like, “I’ll get back at you,” just chill and wait on the Lord to handle it, fr.

23Different weights are sus to the Lord; a fake balance is just not it.

24A man's steps are directed by the Lord; how’s he supposed to get his own path, though?

25It’s a trap for the dude who eats what’s holy and then asks about his vows, periodt.

26A wise king knows how to deal with the wicked and keeps it moving, no doubt.

27The spirit of a man is like a candle from the Lord, shining light on what’s inside, fr.

28Mercy and truth keep the king solid; his throne’s all about that mercy, for real.

29Young guys flex their strength, while older dudes rock that silver hair vibe, no cap.

30A bruise helps clean out the bad stuff; just like a good smack cleans up the insides.

KJV: Proverbs 20

1Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.

2The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion: whoso provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul.

3It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.

4The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.

5Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.

6Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?

7The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.

8A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes.

9Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?

10Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the Lord.

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

12The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the Lord hath made even both of them.

13Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.

14It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer: but when he is gone his way, then he boasteth.

15There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.

16Take his garment that is surety for a stranger: and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.

17Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.

18Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.

19He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.

20Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.

21An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; but the end thereof shall not be blessed.

22Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the Lord, and he shall save thee.

23Divers weights are an abomination unto the Lord; and a false balance is not good.

24Man’s goings are of the Lord; how can a man then understand his own way?

25It is a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy, and after vows to make enquiry.

26A wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth the wheel over them.

27The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly.

28Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upholden by mercy.

29The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the gray head.

30The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly.
