Proverbs 20:19-21
Modern English Version
19 He who goes about as a talebearer reveals secrets;
therefore do not meddle with him who flatters with his lips.
20 Whoever curses his father or his mother,
his lamp will be put out in obscure darkness.
21 An inheritance may be gained hastily at the beginning,
but the end of it will not be blessed.
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.
