Pro 20:1Wine is an intemperate thing, and strong drink full of violence: but every fool is entangled with them.

Pro 20:10A large and small weight, and [fn]divers measures, are even both of them unclean before the Lord; and so is he that makes them.

Pro 20:11

Pro 20:11A youth when in company with a godly man, will be restrained in his devices, and then his way will be straight.
