Proverbs 20:17-23

¹⁷Bread of falsehood is sweet to a man; But afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.

¹⁸Every purpose is established by counsel; And by wise guidance make thou war.

¹⁹He that goeth about as a tale-bearer revealeth secrets; Therefore company not with him that openeth wide his lips.

²⁰Whoso curseth his father or his mother, His lamp shall be put out in blackness of darkness.

²¹An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; But the end thereof shall not be blessed.

²²Say not thou, I will recompense evil: Wait for Jehovah, and he will save thee.

²³Diverse weights are an abomination to Jehovah; And a false balance is not good.
