20:020:020 Whoso curseth his father or his mother,
his lamp shall be put
out
in obscure darkness.
20:020:021 An inheritance may be gotten hastily at
the beginning; but the
end
thereof shall not be blessed.
20:020:022 Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but
wait on the lord,
and
he shall save thee.
20:020:023 Divers weights are an abomination unto
the lord; and a false
balance
is not good.
20:020:024 Man’s goings are of the lord;
how can a man then understand
his
own way?
20:020:025 It is a snare to the man who devoureth
that which is holy, and
after
vows to make enquiry.
20:020:026 A wise king scattereth the wicked, and
bringeth the wheel over
them.
20:020:027 The spirit of man is the candle of the
lord, searching all the
inward
parts of the belly.
20:020:028 Mercy and truth preserve the king:
and his throne is upholden
by
mercy.
20:020:029 The glory of young men is their strength:
and the beauty of
old
men is the grey head.
20:020:030 The blueness of a wound cleanseth away
evil: so do stripes the
inward
parts of the belly.
20:021:001 The king’s heart is in the hand of
the lord, as the rivers of
water:
he turneth it whithersoever he will.
20:021:002 Every way of a man is right in his own
eyes: but the lord
pondereth
the hearts.
20:021:003 To do justice and judgment is more acceptable
to the lord than
sacrifice.
20:021:004 An high look, and a proud heart, and the
plowing of the
wicked,
is sin.
20:021:005 The thoughts of the diligent tend only
to plenteousness; but
of
every one that is hasty only to want.
20:021:006 The getting of treasures by a lying tongue
is a vanity tossed
to
and fro of them that seek death.
20:021:007 The robbery of the wicked shall destroy
them; because they
refuse
to do judgment.
20:021:008 The way of man is froward and strange:
but as for the pure,
his
work is right.
20:021:009 It is better to dwell in a corner of the
housetop, than with a
brawling
woman in a wide house.
20:021:010 The soul of the wicked desireth evil:
his neighbour findeth no
favour
in his eyes.
20:021:011 When the scorner is punished, the simple
is made wise: and
when
the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.
20:021:012 The righteous man wisely considereth the
house of the wicked:
but
God overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness.
20:021:013 Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the
poor, he also shall
cry
himself, but shall not be heard.
