Proverbs 20:18-20
Authorized (King James) Version
18 Every purpose is established by counsel:
and with good advice make war.
19 He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets:
therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.
20 Whoso curseth his father or his mother,
his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.
Proverbs 20:18-20
New International Version
18 Plans are established by seeking advice;
so if you wage war, obtain guidance.(A)
19 A gossip betrays a confidence;(B)
so avoid anyone who talks too much.
