Proverbs 20:10-23

10Unequal weights and unequal measures are both alike an abomination to the Lord.

11Even a child makes himself known by his acts, by whether his conduct is pure and upright.

12The hearing ear and the seeing eye, the Lord has made them both.

13Love not sleep, lest you come to poverty; open your eyes, and you will have plenty of bread.

14"Bad, bad," says the buyer, but when he goes away, then he boasts.

15There is gold and abundance of costly stones, but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.

16Take a man's garment when he has put up security for a stranger, and hold it in pledge when he puts up security for foreigners.

17Bread gained by deceit is sweet to a man, but afterward his mouth will be full of gravel.

18Plans are established by counsel; by wise guidance wage war.

19Whoever goes about slandering reveals secrets; therefore do not associate with a simple babbler.

20If one curses his father or his mother, his lamp will be put out in utter darkness.

21An inheritance gained hastily in the beginning will not be blessed in the end.

22Do not say, "I will repay evil"; wait for the Lord, and he will deliver you.

23Unequal weights are an abomination to the Lord, and false scales are not good.
