Proverbs 20:18-28

18 Every thought must be ordered by counsel, and with intelligence war is made.
19 He that goes about as a talebearer reveals secrets; therefore meddle not with him that flatters with his lips.
20 Whosoever curses his father or his mother, his fire shall be put out in obscure darkness.
21 An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning, but the end thereof shall not be blessed.
22 Say not thou, I will take vengeance, but wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee.
23 Double weights are an abomination unto the LORD, and a false balance is not good.
24 Man’s steps are of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way?
25 It is a snare unto man to devour that which is holy and afterward to reconsider his vows.
26 A wise king scatters the wicked and brings the wheel over them.
27 The spirit of man is the fire of the LORD, which searches the secrets of the inward parts.
28 Mercy and truth preserve the king, and his throne is upheld by mercy.
