Proverbs 20

Proverbs 20 warns against wine as a mocker that leads astray, condemns deceit in business like dishonest weights and fraudulent gain that turns to gravel, and urges wise counsel for plans, honoring parents, avoiding gossip, rash vows, and revenge while trusting YHWH. It praises a wise king who winnows the wicked, notes the human spirit as YHWH's lamp searching the inmost being, celebrates youthful strength and elderly gray hair, and teaches that blows purge evil.[1][4][5]
