Proverbs 20:19-21
EasyEnglish Bible
19 Keep away from people who talk too much.
They will tell everybody about your secrets.
20 If you insult your parents, your life will quickly finish,
like a lamp that suddenly goes out
and leaves you in complete darkness.
21 If you receive riches too early in life,
it will do you no good in the end.
Proverbs 20:19-21

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.
