Proverbs 20:18-24

¹⁸Every purpose is put into effect by wise help: and by wise guiding make war.

¹⁹He who goes about talking of the business of others gives away secrets: so have nothing to do with him whose lips are open wide.

²⁰If anyone puts a curse on his father or his mother, his light will be put out in the blackest night.

²¹A heritage may be got quickly at first, but the end of it will not be a blessing.

²²Do not say, I will give punishment for evil: go on waiting for the Lord, and he will be your saviour.

²³Unequal weights are disgusting to the Lord, and false scales are not good.

²⁴A man's steps are of the Lord; how then may a man have knowledge of his way?
