Proverbs 20:10-23

10Unequal weights and measures— both are an abomination to Adonai.

11Even a child is known by his actions, whether his conduct is pure and upright.

12Ears that hear and eyes that see— Adonai has made them both.

13Do not love sleep, lest you become poor. Open your eyes, and you will be satisfied with food.

14“It’s bad, bad!” says the buyer, but then he goes away and boasts.

15There is gold and abundance of rubies, but lips that speak knowledge are precious.

16Take a man’s garment, who puts up security for a stranger, and hold it in pledge, as security for a foreign woman.

17Bread gained by fraud is sweet to a man, but later his mouth is filled with gravel.

18Plans are made by counsel, so wage war with guidance.

19A talebearer goes about, revealing secrets, so do not associate with a babbler.

20Whoever curses his father or his mother, his lamp will be snuffed out in utter darkness.

21An estate acquired quickly in the beginning will not be blessed in the end.

22Do not say, “I will pay back evil!” Wait for Adonai, so He may deliver You.

23Unbalanced weights are detestable to Adonai, and dishonest scales are wicked.
