Proverbs 20:19-29

19 The one who reveals secrets is a constant gossip; avoid someone with a big mouth.[a]
20 Whoever curses his father or mother- his lamp will go out in deep darkness.[b]
21 An inheritance gained prematurely will not be blessed ultimately.[c]
22 Don't say, "I will avenge this evil!" Wait on the Lord, and He will rescue you.[d]
23 Differing weights[e] are detestable to the Lord, and dishonest scales are unfair.[f]
24 A man's steps are determined by the Lord,[g] so how can anyone understand his own way?
25 It is a trap for anyone to dedicate something rashly and later to reconsider his vows.[h]
26 A wise king separates out the wicked and drives the threshing wheel over them.
27 A person's breath is the lamp of the Lord, searching the innermost parts.[i] [j]
28 Loyalty and faithfulness deliver a king; through loyalty he maintains his throne.
29 The glory of young men is their strength, and the splendor of old men is gray hair.[k]
