Proverbs 20:21-23

New International Reader's Version

²¹Property that you claim too soon
will not be blessed in the end.

²²Don’t say, “I’ll get even with you for the wrong you did to me!”
Wait for the Lord, and he will make things right for you.

²³The Lord hates weights that weigh things heavier or lighter than they really are.
Scales that are not honest don’t please him.
