Proverbs 20:18-20

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁸ Things will go well if you receive good advice.
    If you want to fight a war, ask wise people to be your advisors.
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.
