Proverbs 20:16-26

20 The lamp of him that reviles father or mother shall be put out, and his eyeballs shall see darkness.

21 A portion hastily gotten at first shall not be blessed in the end.

22 Say not, I will avenge myself on my enemy; but wait on the Lord, that he may help thee.

23 A double weight is an abomination to the Lord; and a deceitful balance is not good in his sight.

24 A man's goings are directed of the Lord: how then can a mortal understand his ways?

25 It is a snare to a man hastily to consecrate some of his own property: for repentance comes after vowing.

26 A wise king utterly crushes the ungodly, and will bring a wheel upon them.
