Proverbs

¹⁸Every purpose is established by counsel: and by wise guidance make thou war, ¹⁹He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that openeth wide his lips. ²⁰Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in the blackest 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 on the LORD, and he shall 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 understand his way?
