Proverbs 20:22

Compare all

20 ^aWhoever curses his father or his mother,
^bHis lamp will be put out in deep darkness.

21 ^aAn inheritance gained hastily at the beginning
^bWill not be blessed at the end.

22 ^aDo not say, “I will¹ recompense evil”;
^bWait for the Lord, and He will save you.

23 Diverse weights are an abomination to the Lord,
And dishonest scales are not good.

24 A man’s steps are of the Lord;
How then can a man understand his own way?
