Proverbs

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? ²⁵It is a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy, and after vows to make inquiry.
