Proverbs 20:24

20Whoever curses his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in blackness of darkness.

21An inheritance quickly gained at the beginning won’t be blessed in the end.

22Don’t say, “I will pay back evil.” Wait for the LORD, and he will save you.

23The LORD detests differing weights, and dishonest scales are not pleasing.

24A man’s steps are from the LORD; how then can man understand his way?

25It is a snare to a man to make a rash dedication, then later to consider his vows.

26A wise king winnows out the wicked, and drives the threshing wheel over them.

27The spirit of man is the LORD’s lamp, searching all his innermost parts.

28Love and faithfulness keep the king safe. His throne is sustained by love.
