Proverbs 20:10-20

10 False weights and false measures -ADONAI detests them both.
11 The character of even a child is known by how he acts, by whether his deeds are pure and right.
12 The hearing ear and the seeing eye -ADONAI made them both.
13 If you love sleep, you will become poor; keep your eyes open, and you'll have plenty of food.
14 "Really bad stuff!" says the buyer [to the seller]; then he goes off and brags [about his bargain].
15 A person may have gold and a wealth of pearls, but lips informed by knowledge are a precious jewel.
16 Seize his clothes, because he guaranteed a stranger's loan; take them as security for that unknown woman.
17 Food obtained by fraud may taste good, but later the mouth is full of gravel.
18 After consultation, plans succeed; so take wise advice when waging war.
19 A gossip goes around revealing secrets, so don't get involved with a talkative person.
20 Whoever curses his father or mother -his lamp will go out in total darkness.
