Proverbs 20:22-27 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

22. Do not say, “I will repay evil!”Wait for the Lord, who will help you.

23. Varying weights are an abomination to the Lord,and false scales are not good.

24. Our steps are from the Lord;how, then, can mortals understand their way?

25. It is a trap to pledge rashly a sacred gift,and after a vow, then to reflect.

26. A wise king winnows the wicked,and threshes them under the cartwheel.

27. A lamp from the Lord is human life-breath;it searches through the inmost being.
