God’s Word Translation
Proverbs 20:17-21
17Food gained dishonestly tastes sweet to a person, but afterwards his mouth will be filled with gravel.
18Plans are confirmed by getting advice, and with guidance one wages war.
19Whoever goes around as a gossip tells secrets. Do not associate with a person whose mouth is always open.
20The lamp of the person who curses his father and mother will be snuffed out in total darkness.
21An inheritance quickly obtained in the beginning will never be blessed in the end.
