21. An inheritance gained hastily at the beginningWill not be blessed at the end.
22. Do not say, “I will recompense evil”;Wait for the Lord, and He will save you.
23. Diverse weights are an abomination to the Lord,And dishonest scales are not good.
24. A man’s steps are of the Lord;How then can a man understand his own way?
25. It is a snare for a man to devote rashly something as holy,And afterward to reconsider his vows.
26. A wise king sifts out the wicked,And brings the threshing wheel over them.
27. The spirit of a man is the lamp of the Lord,Searching all the inner depths of his heart.
28. Mercy and truth preserve the king,And by lovingkindness he upholds his throne.
