Proverbs 20:23

²¹ An inheritance gained quickly will not be blessed in the end.

²² Do not say, “I will avenge this evil!” Wait on the LORD, and He will save you.

Unequal weights are detestable to the LORD, and dishonest scales are no good.

²⁴ A man’s steps are from the LORD, so how can anyone understand his own way?

²⁵ It is a trap for a man to dedicate something rashly, only later to reconsider his vows.
