Proverbs 20:19-21

New Living Translation

¹⁹A gossip goes around telling secrets,
so don’t hang around with chatterers.

²⁰If you insult your father or mother,
your light will be snuffed out in total darkness.

²¹An inheritance obtained too early in life
is not a blessing in the end.

Proverbs 20:19-21

¹⁹A gossip betrays a confidence;^(A)
so avoid anyone who talks too much.

²⁰If someone curses their father or mother,^(B)
their lamp will be snuffed out in pitch darkness.^(C)

²¹An inheritance claimed too soon
will not be blessed at the end.
