Proverbs 20:19-25

¹⁹He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that enticeth with his lips.

²⁰Whoso curseth his father or his mother—his lamp shall be quenched in obscure darkness.

²¹An inheritance hastily gotten at the beginning will at its end not be blessed,

²²Do not say, I will recompense evil; but wait on the Lord, and he will help thee.

²³Divers weights are an abomination of the Lord; and a deceitful balance is not good.

²⁴From the Lord are the steps of man ordained; but man— how can he understand his own way?

²⁵It is a snare to a man to sanctify things hastily, and to make inquiry only after having made vows.
