Pearls Of Wisdom 06-20-2023
Proverbios 20
Reina-Valera 1960
20 El vino es escarnecedor, la sidra alborotadora,

Y cualquiera que por ellos yerra no es sabio.

2 Como rugido de cachorro de león es el terror del rey;

El que lo enfurece peca contra sí mismo.

3 Honra es del hombre dejar la contienda;

Mas todo insensato se envolverá en ella.

4 El perezoso no ara a causa del invierno;

Pedirá, pues, en la siega, y no hallará.

5 Como aguas profundas es el consejo en el corazón del hombre;

Mas el hombre entendido lo alcanzará.

6 Muchos hombres proclaman cada uno su propia bondad,

Pero hombre de verdad, ¿quién lo hallará?

7 Camina en su integridad el justo;

Sus hijos son dichosos después de él.

8 El rey que se sienta en el trono de juicio,

Con su mirar disipa todo mal.

9 ¿Quién podrá decir: Yo he limpiado mi corazón,

Limpio estoy de mi pecado?

10 Pesa falsa y medida falsa,

Ambas cosas son abominación a Jehová.

11 Aun el muchacho es conocido por sus hechos,

Si su conducta fuere limpia y recta.

12 El oído que oye, y el ojo que ve,

Ambas cosas igualmente ha hecho Jehová.

13 No ames el sueño, para que no te empobrezcas;

Abre tus ojos, y te saciarás de pan.

14 El que compra dice: Malo es, malo es;

Mas cuando se aparta, se alaba.

15 Hay oro y multitud de piedras preciosas;

Mas los labios prudentes son joya preciosa.

16 Quítale su ropa al que salió por fiador del extraño,

Y toma prenda del que sale fiador por los extraños.

17 Sabroso es al hombre el pan de mentira;

Pero después su boca será llena de cascajo.

18 Los pensamientos con el consejo se ordenan;

Y con dirección sabia se hace la guerra.

19 El que anda en chismes descubre el secreto;

No te entremetas, pues, con el suelto de lengua.

20 Al que maldice a su padre o a su madre,

Se le apagará su lámpara en oscuridad tenebrosa.

21 Los bienes que se adquieren de prisa al principio,

No serán al final bendecidos.

22 No digas: Yo me vengaré;

Espera a Jehová, y él te salvará.

23 Abominación son a Jehová las pesas falsas,

Y la balanza falsa no es buena.

24 De Jehová son los pasos del hombre;

¿Cómo, pues, entenderá el hombre su camino?

25 Lazo es al hombre hacer apresuradamente voto de consagración,

Y después de hacerlo, reflexionar.

26 El rey sabio avienta a los impíos,

Y sobre ellos hace rodar la rueda.

27 Lámpara de Jehová es el espíritu del hombre,

La cual escudriña lo más profundo del corazón.

28 Misericordia y verdad guardan al rey,

Y con clemencia se sustenta su trono.

29 La gloria de los jóvenes es su fuerza,

Y la hermosura de los ancianos es su vejez.

30 Los azotes que hieren son medicina para el malo,

Y el castigo purifica el corazón.

Proverbs 20
New King James Version
Wine Is a Mocker
20 Wine is a mocker,
Strong drink is a brawler,
And whoever is led astray by it is not wise.

2 The wrath of a king is like the roaring of a lion;
Whoever provokes him to anger sins against his own life.

3 It is honorable for a man to stop striving,
Since any fool can start a quarrel.

4 The lazy man will not plow because of winter;
He will beg during harvest and have nothing.

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

6 Most men will proclaim each his own goodness,
But who can find a faithful man?

7 The righteous man walks in his integrity;
His children are blessed after him.

8 A king who sits on the throne of judgment
Scatters all evil with his eyes.

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

10 Diverse weights and diverse measures,
They are both alike, an abomination to the Lord.

11 Even a child is known by his deeds,
Whether what he does is pure and right.

12 The hearing ear and the seeing eye,
The Lord has made them both.

13 Do not love sleep, lest you come to poverty;
Open your eyes, and you will be satisfied with bread.

14 “It is good for nothing,” cries the buyer;
But when he has gone his way, then he boasts.

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

16 Take the garment of one who is surety for a stranger,
And hold it as a pledge when it is for a seductress.

17 Bread gained by deceit is sweet to a man,
But afterward his mouth will be filled with gravel.

18 Plans are established by counsel;
By wise counsel wage war.

19 He who goes about as a talebearer reveals secrets;
Therefore do not associate with one who flatters with his lips.

20 Whoever curses his father or his mother,
His lamp will be put out in deep darkness.

21 An inheritance gained hastily at the beginning
Will not be blessed at the end.

22 Do not say, “I will recompense evil”;
Wait for the Lord, and He will save you.

23 Diverse weights are an abomination to the Lord,
And dishonest scales are not good.

24 A man’s steps are of the Lord;
How then can a man understand his own way?

25 It is a snare for a man to devote rashly something as holy,
And afterward to reconsider his vows.

26 A wise king sifts out the wicked,
And brings the threshing wheel over them.

27 The spirit of a man is the lamp of the Lord,
Searching all the inner depths of his heart.

28 Mercy and truth preserve the king,
And by lovingkindness he upholds his throne.

29 The glory of young men is their strength,
And the splendor of old men is their gray head.

30 Blows that hurt cleanse away evil,
As do stripes the inner depths of the heart.
