Proverbs 20:21
King James VersionSource notes
“An inheritance gotten hastily at the beginning; but the end thereof shall not be blessed.”
Context
18purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.
19He that goeth about a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.
20Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.
21An inheritance gotten hastily at the beginning; but the end thereof shall not be blessed.
22Say not thou, I will recompense evil; wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee.
23Divers weights an abomination unto the LORD; and a false balance not good.
24Man’s goings of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way?
