Proverbs 20:5

New King James Version

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 deep waters; The wellspring of wisdom is a flowing brook.

For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.

They devise iniquities: “We have perfected a shrewd scheme.” Both the inward thought and the heart of man are deep.

The lazy man will not plow because of winter; He will beg during harvest and have nothing.

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