Proverbs 20:6 Context
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? 7The iust man walketh in his integritie: his children are blessed after him. 8A king that sitteth in the throne of iudgement, scattereth away all euill with his eyes.
