Proverbs

¹⁸Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war. ¹⁹He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips. ²⁰Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure 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; but wait on the Lord, and he shall save thee. ²³Divers weights are an abomination unto the Lord; and a false balance is not good. ²⁴Man’s goings are of the Lord; how can a man then understand his own way?
