Proverbs 20:19-25

¹⁹A revealer of secret counsels is the busybody, And for a deceiver with his lips make not thyself surety.

²⁰Whoso is vilifying his father and his mother, Extinguished is his lamp in blackness of darkness.

²¹An inheritance gotten wrongly at first, Even its latter end is not blessed.

²²Do not say, 'I recompense evil,' Wait for Jehovah, and He delivereth thee.

²³An abomination to Jehovah are a stone and a stone, And balances of deceit are not good.

²⁴From Jehovah are the steps of a man, And man — how understandeth he his way?

²⁵A snare to a man is he hath swallowed a holy thing, And after vows to make inquiry.
