20 Whoso is vilifying his father and his mother, Extinguished  is his lamp in blackness of darkness.
         
                                
                        21 An inheritance gotten wrongly at first, Even its latter  end is not blessed.
         
                                
                        22 Do not say, `I recompense evil,` Wait for Jehovah, and He  delivereth thee.
         
                                
                        23 An abomination to Jehovah [are] a stone and a stone, And  balances of deceit [are] not good.
         
                                
                        24 From Jehovah [are] the steps of a man, And man -- how  understandeth he his way?
         
                                
                        25 A snare to a man [is] he hath swallowed a holy thing, And  after vows to make inquiry.
         
                                
                        26 A wise king is scattering the wicked, And turneth back on  them the wheel.
