Proverbs 20:17-21
171Bread obtained by a lie is sweet to a person, But afterward his mouth will be filled with gravel.18Prepare 2plans by consultation, And 3make war by wise guidance.19One 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 time of darkness.21An inheritance gained in a hurry at the beginning Will not be blessed in the end.
