Proverbs 20:14-24

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.[a]
16 Take his garment,[b] for he has put up security for a stranger; get collateral if it is for foreigners.[c]
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.[d]
19 The one who reveals secrets is a constant gossip; avoid someone with a big mouth.[e]
20 Whoever curses his father or mother- his lamp will go out in deep darkness.[f]
21 An inheritance gained prematurely will not be blessed ultimately.[g]
22 Don't say, "I will avenge this evil!" Wait on the Lord, and He will rescue you.[h]
23 Differing weights[i] are detestable to the Lord, and dishonest scales are unfair.[j]
24 A man's steps are determined by the Lord,[k] so how can anyone understand his own way?
