Proverbs 20:4 Context
2The feare of a king, is as the roaring of a Lion: who so prouoketh him to anger, sinneth against his owne soule. 3It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but euery foole will be medling. 4The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he begge in haruest, and haue nothing. 5Counsell in the heart of man is like deepe water: but a man of vnderstanding will draw it out. 6Most men will proclaime euery one his owne goodnes: but a faithfull man who can finde?
