Proverbs
Chapters 20:20-26
New International Version Anglicized
20If someone curses their father or mother,their lamp will be snuffed out in pitch darkness.
21An inheritance claimed too soonwill not be blessed at the end.
22Do not say, ‘I’ll pay you back for this wrong!’Wait for the Lord, and he will avenge you.
23The Lord detests differing weights,and dishonest scales do not please him.
24A person’s steps are directed by the Lord.How then can anyone understand their own way?
25It is a trap to dedicate something rashlyand only later to consider one’s vows.
26A wise king winnows out the wicked;he drives the threshing wheel over them.
