Proverbs 20:17-22 New Century Version (NCV)

17. Stolen food may taste sweet at first,but later it will feel like a mouth full of gravel.

18. Get advice if you want your plans to work.If you go to war, get the advice of others.

19. Gossips can’t keep secrets,so avoid people who talk too much.

20. Those who curse their father or motherwill be like a light going out in darkness.

21. Wealth inherited quickly in the beginningwill do you no good in the end.

22. Don’t say, “I’ll pay you back for the wrong you did.”Wait for the Lord, and he will make things right.
