Proverbs 20:18-23

¹⁸Plans are established by advice; by wise guidance you wage war!

¹⁹He who goes about as a tale-bearer reveals secrets; therefore don’t keep company with him who opens wide his lips.

²⁰Whoever curses his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in blackness of darkness.

²¹An inheritance quickly gained at the beginning won’t be blessed in the end.

²²Don’t say, “I will pay back evil.” Wait for the LORD, and he will save you.

²³The LORD detests differing weights, and dishonest scales are not pleasing.
