Proverbs 20:5

King James Version (Oxford) 1769

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

See the chapter Copy

The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters, And the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook.

For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: Both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.

The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; Therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.

Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: But a faithful man who can find?
