Bread of deceita is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.
18
Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.
19
He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flatterethb with his lips.
20
Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lampc shall be put out in obscure darkness.

An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; but the end thereof shall not be blessed .

Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee.
23
Divers weights are an abomination unto the LORD; and a falsed balance is not good.
24
Man's goings are of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way?
