Proverbs 20:18-20

Modern English Version

¹⁸ Every purpose is established by counsel,
    and with good advice wage war.

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.
