Proverbs 20:10-23
10Divers weightsH68, divers measuresH374, even both of them are abominationH8441 to Jehovah.
11Even a child is known by his doings, whether his workH6467 be pureH2134, and whether it be rightH3477.
12The hearing earH241, and the seeingH7200 eyeH5869, Jehovah hath madeH6213 even both of them.
13LoveH157 not sleepH8142, lestH6435 thou come to poverty; openH6491 thine eyesH5869, [and] thou shalt be satisfiedH7646 with breadH3899.
14BadH7451! badH7451! saith the buyerH7069; but when he is gone his way, thenH227 he boasteth.
15There is goldH2091, and a multitudeH7230 of rubies; but the lipsH8193 of knowledgeH1847 are a preciousH3366 Jewel.
16TakeH3947 his garmentH899 that is become suretyH6148 [for] another, and hold him in pledge for strangersH2114.
17BreadH3899 of falsehoodH8267 is sweetH6156 to a manH376, but afterwards his mouthH6310 shall be filledH4390 with gravelH2687.
18PlansH4284 are establishedH3559 by counselH6098; and with good adviceH6098 makeH6213 warH4421.
19He that goeth about talebearing revealeth secretsH5475; therefore meddle not with him that openeth his lipsH8193.
20Whoso curseth his fatherH1 or his motherH517, his lampH5216 shall be put out in the blackest darknessH2822.
21An inheritanceH5159 obtained hastily at the beginning will not be blessedH1288 in the endH319.
22SayH559 not, I will recompense evilH7451: waitH6960 on Jehovah, and he shall saveH3467 thee.
23Divers weightsH68 are an abominationH8441 unto Jehovah; and a false balance is not goodH2896.
