Proverbs 20:13-23

13 Don't love sleep, or you will become poor; open your eyes, and you'll have enough to eat.[a]
14 "It's worthless, it's worthless!" the buyer says, but after he is on his way, he gloats.
15 There is gold and a multitude of jewels, but knowledgeable lips are a rare treasure.[b]
16 Take his garment,[c] for he has put up security for a stranger; get collateral if it is for foreigners.[d]
17 Food gained by fraud is sweet to a man, but afterwards his mouth is full of gravel.
18 Finalize plans through counsel, and wage war with sound guidance.[e]
19 The one who reveals secrets is a constant gossip; avoid someone with a big mouth.[f]
20 Whoever curses his father or mother- his lamp will go out in deep darkness.[g]
21 An inheritance gained prematurely will not be blessed ultimately.[h]
22 Don't say, "I will avenge this evil!" Wait on the Lord, and He will rescue you.[i]
23 Differing weights[j] are detestable to the Lord, and dishonest scales are unfair.[k]
