Proverbs 20:21-30 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

21. If your wealth was easy to get, it will not be worth much to you.

22. Don’t ever say, “I’ll pay them back for what they did to me!” Wait for the Lord. He will make things right.

23. The Lord hates for people to use the wrong weights to cheat others. It is wrong to use scales that are not accurate.

24. The Lord guides our steps, and we never know where he will lead us.

25. Think carefully before you promise to give something to God. Later, you might wish you had not made that promise.

26. Like a farmer who separates wheat from the chaff, a wise king will decide who is wrong and crush them.

27. Your spirit is like a lamp to the Lord. He is able to see into your deepest parts.

28. A king who is loyal and true will keep his power. Loyalty will keep his kingdom strong.

29. We admire a young man for his strength, but we respect an old man for his gray hair.

30. A beating can remove evil and make you completely clean.
