Proverbs 20:3-5

New International Reader's Version

³ Avoiding a fight brings honor to a person.
    But every foolish person is quick to argue.

⁴ Anyone who refuses to work doesn’t plow in the right season.
    When they look for a crop at harvest time, they don’t find it.

⁵ The purposes of a person’s heart are like deep water.
    But one who has understanding brings them out.
