Proverbs 20:1-9

Wine makes you mean, beer makes you quarrelsome— a staggering drunk is not much fun. Quick-tempered leaders are like mad dogs— cross them and they bite your head off.

Knowing what is right is like deep water in the heart; a wise person draws from the well within. Lots of people claim to be loyal and loving, but where on earth can you find one? God-loyal people, living honest lives, make it much easier for their children. Leaders who know their business and care keep a sharp eye out for the shoddy and cheap, For who among us can be trusted to be always diligent and honest?
