Proverbs 20:5

Modern King James Version

Wisdom 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 like deep waters; the fountain of wisdom is like a flowing stream.

For who among men knows the things of a man except the spirit of man within him? So also no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.

They search out injustice, saying, We have finished hiding a hidden plot. Yea, the inward part of man and the heart are deep.

The lazy one will not plow; after the autumn he shall beg in harvest and have nothing.

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