Proverbs 20:23

In context

21An inheritance grabbed at the start will not be blessed at the end. 22Do not say, “I will pay back the evil.” Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you. 23Two kinds of weight are an abomination to Yahweh, and dishonest scales are not good. 24A man’s steps come from Yahweh—how then can anyone understand his own way? 25It is a snare to declare something holy on impulse and only afterward weigh the vow.
