21An inheritance quickly gained at the beginning won’t be blessed in the end.
22Don’t say, “I will pay back evil.” Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you.
23Yahweh detests differing weights, and dishonest scales are not pleasing.
24A man’s steps are from Yahweh; how then can man understand his way?
25It is a snare to a man to make a rash dedication, then later to consider his vows.
26A wise king winnows out the wicked, and drives the threshing wheel over them.
27The spirit of man is Yahweh’s lamp, searching all his innermost parts.
28Love and faithfulness keep the king safe. His throne is sustained by love.
