Proverbs

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? ²⁵It is a snare to a man rashly to say, It is holy, And after vows to make inquiry. ²⁶A wise king winnoweth the wicked, And bringeth the threshing -wheel over them. ²⁷The spirit of man is the lamp of Jehovah, Searching all his innermost parts.
