Proverbs

¹⁸Every purpose is established by counsel; And by wise guidance make thou war. ¹⁹He that goeth about as a tale-bearer revealeth secrets; Therefore company not with him that openeth wide his lips. ²⁰Whoso curseth his father or his mother, His lamp shall be put out in blackness of darkness. ²¹An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; But the end thereof shall not be blessed. ²²Say not thou, I will recompense evil: Wait for Jehovah, and he will save thee. ²³Diverse weights are an abomination to Jehovah; And a false balance is not good. ²⁴A man’s goings are of Jehovah; How then can man understand his way?
