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.
26A wise king scattereth the wicked, and turneth over them the threshing-wheel.
27A lamp of the Lord is the soul of man, searching all the inner chambers of the body.
28Kindness and truth will watch over a king, and he will prop up through kindness his throne.
