Proverbs 20:19-21
American Standard Version
19 He that goeth about as a tale-bearer revealeth secrets;
Therefore company not with him that openeth wide his lips.
20 Whoso curseth his father or his mother,
His lamp shall be put out in blackness of darkness.
21 An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning;
But the end thereof shall not be blessed.
Proverbs 20:19-21
New International Version
19 A gossip betrays a confidence;(A)
so avoid anyone who talks too much.
20 If someone curses their father or mother,(B)
their lamp will be snuffed out in pitch darkness.(C)
21 An inheritance claimed too soon
will not be blessed at the end.
