Proverbs 20:18-20

The Voice

¹⁸ Plans are finalized on the basis of good counsel,
    so only go to war when you have wise instructions.
¹⁹ A gossip will reveal your secrets!
    So avoid the company of people who talk openly and foolishly.
²⁰ If someone pronounces a curse on his parents,^[a]
    the lamp of his life will be snuffed out as complete darkness creeps in.
