Proverbs 20:20-22
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

20 If one curses his father or his mother,
    his lamp will be put out in utter darkness.
21 An inheritance gotten hastily in the beginning
    will in the end not be blessed.
22 Do not say, “I will repay evil”;
    wait for the Lord, and he will help you.
