## Proverbs 20:24-30 in Context (Verses 21–30 KJV)
 
 [21 ](/kjv/proverbs/20/21) An inheritance *may be* gotten hastily at the beginning; but the end thereof shall not be blessed.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/proverbs/20/22) Say not thou, I will recompense evil; *but* wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee.
 
 [23 ](/kjv/proverbs/20/23) Divers weights *are* an abomination unto the LORD; and a false balance *is* not good.*
 
 [24 ](/kjv/proverbs/20/24) Man’s goings *are* of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way?
 
 [25 ](/kjv/proverbs/20/25) *It is* a snare to the man *who* devoureth *that which is* holy, and after vows to make enquiry.
 
 [26 ](/kjv/proverbs/20/26) A wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth the wheel over them.
 
 [27 ](/kjv/proverbs/20/27) The spirit of man *is* the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.*
 
 [28 ](/kjv/proverbs/20/28) Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upholden by mercy.
 
 [29 ](/kjv/proverbs/20/29) The glory of young men *is* their strength: and the beauty of old men *is* the gray head.
 
 [30 ](/kjv/proverbs/20/30) The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so *do* stripes the inward parts of the belly.*
 
[Proverbs 19](/kjv/proverbs/19) [Proverbs 21](/kjv/proverbs/21)
