Proverbs 20:17-27

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.[a]
19 The one who reveals secrets is a constant gossip; avoid someone with a big mouth.[b]
20 Whoever curses his father or mother- his lamp will go out in deep darkness.[c]
21 An inheritance gained prematurely will not be blessed ultimately.[d]
22 Don't say, "I will avenge this evil!" Wait on the Lord, and He will rescue you.[e]
23 Differing weights[f] are detestable to the Lord, and dishonest scales are unfair.[g]
24 A man's steps are determined by the Lord,[h] so how can anyone understand his own way?
25 It is a trap for anyone to dedicate something rashly and later to reconsider his vows.[i]
26 A wise king separates out the wicked and drives the threshing wheel over them.
27 A person's breath is the lamp of the Lord, searching the innermost parts.[j] [k]
