20Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in the blackest darkness.
21An estate may be gotten hastily at the beginning; but the end thereof shall not be blessed.
22Say not thou: 'I will requite evil'; wait for the LORD, and He will save thee.
23Divers weights are an abomination to the LORD; and a false balance is not good.
24A man's goings are of the LORD; how then can man look to his way?
25It is a snare to a man rashly to say: 'Holy', and after vows to make inquiry.
26A wise king sifteth the wicked, and turneth the wheel over them.
27The spirit of man is the lamp of the LORD, searching all the inward parts.
28Mercy and truth preserve the king; and his throne is upheld by mercy.
