Proverbs 20:21-30

Listen to Proverbs 20:21-30

21 An inheritance quickly obtained in the beginning will never be blessed in the end.

22 Do not say, "I'll get even with you!" Wait for the LORD, and he will save you.

23 A double standard of weights is disgusting to the LORD, and dishonest scales are no good.

24 The LORD is the one who directs a person's steps. How then can anyone understand his own way?

25 It is a trap for a person to say impulsively, "This is a holy offering!" and later to have second thoughts about those vows.

26 A wise king scatters the wicked and then runs them over.

27 A person's soul is the LORD's lamp. It searches his entire innermost being.

28 Mercy and truth protect a king, and with mercy he maintains his throne.

29 While the glory of young men is their strength, the splendor of older people is their silver hair.

30 Brutal beatings cleanse away wickedness. Such beatings cleanse the innermost being.
