Proverbs 20:23

IntegrityMoney and wealth

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.
