Proverbs 20 brings further sayings of Solomon's wisdom: Wine is a mocker and beer a brawler; whoever is led astray by them is not wise... the righteous man leads a blameless life... who can say, I have kept my heart pure; I am clean and without sin?... even a child is known by his actions... a gossip betrays confidence; so avoid a man who talks too much!... if a man curses his father or mother, his lamp will be snuffed out in pitch darkness... the lamp of the Lord searches the spirit of a man; it searches out his inmost being... the glory of young men is their strength, grey hair the splendour of the old.
