Proverbs 20:17-21
171Bread obtained by falsehood is sweet to a man, But afterward his mouth will be filled with gravel.18Prepare 2plans by consultation, And 3make war by wise guidance.19He who 4goes about as a slanderer reveals secrets, Therefore do not associate with 56a gossip.20He who 7curses his father or his mother, His 8lamp will go out in 9time of darkness.21An inheritance gained hurriedly at the beginning Will not be blessed in the end.
