Proverbs 20:18-20

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁸ Plans are strengthened by obtaining advice,
so do not wage war without consultation.
¹⁹ A person who goes around spreading gossip reveals secrets,
so do not associate with anyone whose lips are always open.
²⁰ The person who curses his father and his mother—
his lamp will be snuffed out in total darkness.
